Jailyn has one of the best frames in the 2026 class with her size and strength. In Gainesville, she had some really big blocks on the defensive end and did a nice job scoring it from 15 feet and in. Her passing ability is solid for her position as well. She has received offers from Shaw (D2) and Ft Lauderdale (NCCAA) since April.
