Saniya Rivers is 1 of the Best to Ever Wear the Red & White at NC State

NC State guard Saniya Rivers has just wrapped up one of the best careers in school history.

Coming out of high school, the hype could not have been much higher for Rivers. She was the #3 overall player nationally in the 2021 recruiting class, a McDonald’s All-American, and the Gatorade National Player of the Year. During her high school career, she was named the North Carolina Gatorade Player of the Year three times and All-State four times.

Rivers signed with South Carolina, winning a National Championship with the Gamecocks in 2022, where she averaged 2.3 points in 13.
