South Carolina Lands Top-20 2026 Forward Kaeli Wynn Over Stanford

She joins IMG Academy teammate Kelsi Andrews to bolster South Carolina’s 2026 frontcourt.

Overview

  • ESPN reported that Kaeli Wynn, ranked No. 17 in the SC Next 100 for 2026, committed on Nov. 10 to play for Dawn Staley at South Carolina.
  • The 6-foot-2 forward is profiled as a versatile, positionless contributor who can stretch the floor and defend multiple spots.
  • Wynn said Coach Staley’s leadership, the program’s championship culture, and the Gamecock fan energy drove her decision, with 247Sports noting their strong personal rapport.
  • She missed the latter half of last season and the summer club circuit after dislocating her right knee in late January and chose a conservative rehabilitation.
  • Wynn will arrive in 2026 alongside IMG post player Kelsi Andrews, ESPN’s No. 18 prospect, forming a projected frontcourt pairing for the Gamecocks.
