Ella Wigal brings size, rebounding, and transition juice to the Akron backcourt
Wigal is a 6-foot guard with a proven high-school scoring and rebounding pedigree, and at Liberty in 2023-24 she played in 33 games while averaging 2.9 points and 2.8 rebounds in 11.8 minutes, with a strong 78.3% free-throw mark that hints at touch and composure[1][2][5][8]. Her biggest differentiators are length, rebounding from the guard spot, and ability to push in transition—traits highlighted in scouting notes from her prep career—but her current college production has been modest, and Akron’s roster note says she did not appear in a game in 2024-25, so teams should view her as a developmental fit rather than an immediate stat-sheet driver[8][10].
