Lauren Nelson Lauren Nelson 5'5" | CG Shades Valley | 2026 State AL brings a fearless edge to the Ramsay backcourt — a 5’8 combo guard built for competition on both ends of the floor. She’s a two-way threat who thrives under pressure, attacking defenses with confidence while setting a defensive tone that matches Ramsay’s full-court identity.

Nelson is a pure scorer with a relentless mindset. She’s always in attack mode — getting downhill, pulling up from midrange, or stepping out beyond the arc with rhythm and range. Her ability to score from all three levels makes her a constant problem for opposing guards. But just as important, she takes pride in defending. Her on-ball presence, quick reactions, and active hands allow her to frustrate ball-handlers and force turnovers that ignite transition offense.
