Taylie Proffitt has a skillset that makes it near impossible to keep her off the court: she makes threes and plays good perimeter defense.

Regarding Proffitt’s perimeter shooting, she is a great off-the-ball mover. She can score 3-pointers off the catch or by passing and relocating. She is also able to initiate offensive sets. In these situations, she can score 3-pointers off the dribble and does well at moving around screens from the perimeter, which can sometimes open up windows for shots beyond the arc. In a game against Pineville High School last season, she scored five 3-pointers. One of the 3-pointers came from her using a screen off the dribble.

On defense, Proffitt is laser-focused. She reads the movement of opposing players well, which can lead to high steal totals. In a game against Claiborne High School last season, she had seven steals.

Taylie Proffit closed out her sophomore season for Washburn High School strongly.

Proffitt, in six of her last eight games of the 2024-2025 season, had 10 or more points. This included a game where she recorded 19 points against Cumberland Gap High School.
