From IU Bench Spark to SMU Grad Transfer Hustler
Keyanna Warthen, a gritty 5-10 guard, carved out a solid reserve role at Indiana (2017-21), appearing in 116 games as the program's all-time winningest player, with career averages of 2.0 PTS, 1.3 REB, and 41.6 FG% per ESPN. As a 2021-22 SMU grad transfer, she elevated to 3.0 PPG and 13.5 MPG across 26 games (5 starts), grabbing 81 rebounds while showcasing sharp shooting (season-high 2 threes at IU in 2020-21). Her high school pedigree—20.1 PPG, 10.5 RPG, All-State honors—hints at untapped tenacity; now likely coaching at IU, she's a proven winner with rebounding intensity ideal for teams needing versatile, battle-tested depth.
