Graduate Assistant Coach

Bio

During her five-year playing career which concluded in 2023-24, Wykle was a three-time All-American earning first team honors in her final playing season in Mossy Creek. She is one of just two players in program history to be a three-time All-American and is just one of three to be a first team All-American.

"I'm super excited," Wykle said. "Anybody in my position would be. It's a great program with a strong history. I didn't really miss much, I was there for a lot of the home games. I'm grateful for the opportunity that basketball has given me and that Coach Mincey and Coach Nickles have given me. I'm glad to be back a part of this program."

The Greeneville, Tenn. native put together one of the most outstanding and exceptional careers in program history, etching her name in several parts of the record book. Wykle is the program's all-time leading scorer with 2,782 career points. That scoring mark ranks second in South Atlantic Conference history and fourth all-time on the DII scoring list. Braelyn completed her playing career with a scoring average of 19.2, second highest ever in SAC history. In total, Wykle made 970 baskets, the most in program and SAC history on efficient 46/41/87 career splits.

With 2,782 career points came 370 three-pointers, the most in program history. The sharp shooting from long range allowed her to finish second in SAC history and seventh all-time among DII players for threes made. In her final go around, Wykle broke the program and the SAC's single-season record for three-pointers made with 107 in 2023-24. On her senior day, she broke the program's single-season three-point mark and the single-game record for three-pointers made with 13. In that same game, Wykle scored a career-high 45 points and made 15 of her 26 shots.

The former SAC player and freshman of the year scored in double figures 128 times and had 71 games where she scored at least 20 points. She led her team in scoring 86 times and had 58 games where she made at least 3 three-pointers.

No player has started and played in more games in program and in SAC history than her with 145. The three-time all-region player never missed a game in her career and won 105 games in five seasons.
