BYU Women’s Basketball Gains Firepower with Transfer Marya Hudgins
Jun 05, 2024
BYU's women's basketball team just got a boost with the addition of transfer player Marya Hudgins. The news was announced on the popular YouTube channel, Y's Guys, where Marya joined the show for an interview. Coach Amber Whiting expressed her excitement about welcoming Marya to the team.
Marya, a 6-foot guard, comes to BYU after spending the last two seasons with the Santa Clara Broncos. During her time there, she averaged a respectable 7.6 points and 5.1 rebounds per game, while also showcasing her shooting prowess with a 33% three-point success rate. However, after two challenging years at Santa Clara, Marya decided to enter the transfer portal, seeking a program that would be a better fit for her talents and aspirations.
In BYU, Marya seems to have found that perfect fit. She believes the coaching staff truly believes in her and that the passionate BYU fanbase will provide her with unwavering support. The prospect of playing alongside familiar faces also excites her. Marya will be reunited with teammate Emma Calvert, who she shared the court with during her club and high school days. This sense of camaraderie and established connection can be a significant asset for any team, both on and off the court.
Looking beyond basketball, Marya sheds some light on her personal favorites. A self-proclaimed Taylor Swift devotee, she names "Daylight" as her go-to song. When it comes to movies, her pick leans towards a classic – the iconic "Space Jam".
The interview concludes with Marya expressing her eagerness to contribute to BYU's success. She's excited to be part of the BYU family and is ready to hit the ground running. In fact, she'll be moving to Provo, Utah this very Saturday. With her talent, experience, and positive spirit, Marya Hudgins is poised to be a valuable addition to the BYU women's basketball program. BYU fans can expect to see her make a significant impact on the court in the upcoming season.
