Player Profile

Jaliya Davis is a 6’2″ forward who was named the 2026 Big 12 Freshman of the Year and a first-team all-conference selection. Davis led all freshmen nationally in scoring at 21.0 points per game. While she does the bulk of her damage in the paint with a 63% field goal percentage, she displays good mobility in transition and is showing a face-up jumper. Her combination of high-volume efficiency and high-motor post play has put her in play as one to watch for the 2029 WNBA Draft.
