Kennedy Fauntleroy is ECU’s do-it-all defensive engine with point-guard punch
In the 2025-26 season, Kennedy Fauntleroy emerged as East Carolina’s tone-setter, leading the Pirates in scoring, assists, and steals while earning American Conference Co-Defensive Player of the Year, Newcomer of the Year, and First Team All-Conference honors. She’s a compact, high-motor guard who creates offense, pressures the ball, and piles up impact stats without needing plays run for her. If you want a guard who brings poise, edge, and two-way consistency, she fits beautifully; if you need size, she’s not your answer, but she absolutely is a winning guard.
