LEXINGTON, Ky. (ABC36 NEWS NOW)- A future freshman for Kentucky women’s basketball will play in the 2025 McDonald’s All American Game.
Kaelyn Carroll, a 2025 signee for UK, made the final list of 24 players for the prestigious game and will play for the East team.
Fans can watch Carroll play at 6:30 p.m. on April 1 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on ESPN2.
The Tabor Academy (MA) product is Kentucky’s ninth incoming freshman in the last 15 seasons to be named a McDonald’s All-American.
She is also the 15th best player in the nation according to espnW and has impressed journalists such as ESPN’s Shane Laflin.
“Carroll’s footwork, handle and ability to get to the rim are a unique combination. She hunts threes and gets them off from relocation or even creating space off the dribble,” said Laflin. “She can receive the screen or be the screener in the pick and roll game. She has become physical in her takes to the rim and finds ways to finish over defenders or get to the free throw line effectively. She is also a savvy defender and solid passer because she reads the floor well.”
