Deana Cunningham brings speed, versatility, and a glove-first profile to Memphis
Cunningham profiles as a **defense-and-speed upgrade**: at UCF in the 2025 season, she appeared in 30 games with two starts, mostly as a pinch-runner and defensive replacement, and added two runs plus one stolen base[1]. Memphis’ transfer listing shows she also has experience in the outfield and even at third base, which gives the Tigers useful lineup and defensive flexibility[2][6]. Offensively, available stat lines suggest a modest but improving profile, with D1 Softball listing a .274 average and .387 on-base mark for her 2026 Memphis season to date[4].
