Tessa Chaney brings efficient paint production and steady frontcourt value for Utah Valley
Chaney is a 6-foot-3 center whose game has grown from a low-usage finisher into a reliable interior presence: in the 2024-25 season, she averaged 6.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, and shot 47.2% from the field while starting 22 of 28 games[2][4]. Her best differentiator is toughness around the rim—she’s shown double-double potential, including a 17-point, 10-rebound game in WAC play, and she gives Utah Valley size, physicality, and some defensive disruption without needing touches to stay engaged[14][7]. If a team wants a hard-nosed center who rebounds, scores in the paint, and plays with a blue-collar motor, she’s worth a long look[2][14].
