High-motor forward whose rebounding and rim protection keep climbing
In the 2025-26 season, Ramiyah Byrd has grown into a tough, high-energy forward for Cincinnati, with her best-known calling cards being rebounding, shot blocking, and doing the dirty work that wins minutes. She had a breakout stretch in February 2026 with a career-high 14 points and 15 rebounds in her first career start, and Cincinnati noted she led the team in rebounding in six games that season. At 5'11", she looks like a fit for teams that value effort, versatility, and physicality over flash.
