Iowa players and Hannah Stuelke

No former Iowa college player was picked in this draft. Hannah Stuelke led the list of undrafted Iowa players.

Stuelke averaged 13.4 points and 9.0 rebounds per game as a senior. She is a Cedar Rapids native and a three-time Second Team All-Big Ten selection.

She earned an All-America Honorable Mention for the 2025-26 season. Her career totals include 1,565 points and 910 rebounds at Iowa.

Those marks rank 14th and fifth in school history. WNBA Draft ranking lists varied on her expected status before the draft.

Some outlets projected Stuelke as a second-round pick. Other analysts believed she might go undrafted.

Other undrafted prospects

Notable college players who went unselected included Oklahoma center Raegan Beers. Indiana guard Shay Ciezki also went undrafted.

Undrafted players can still pursue WNBA opportunities. Teams may invite them to training camp or sign them as free agents.
