Natalie McLendon gives Samford a steady, efficient frontcourt edge
In the 2025-26 season, Natalie McLendon has been a reliable Samford contributor, averaging 12.2 points and 1.9 rebounds in 29 games while shooting 41.8% from the field, 77.3% at the line, and 37.3% from three[10]. The stat line says she scores efficiently; the film-friendly takeaway is that she brings spacing, composure, and veteran steadiness rather than flashy volume, making her a useful fit for teams that value a low-drama, high-decision guard who can punish mistakes and keep the offense organized[10].
