Per a release from Red Storm Sports on Oct. 16, graduate guard Ber’Nyah Mayo and junior guard Jaliah Donald were selected as captains by the coaching staff and players.
Mayo played in 33 games and started 32 at the Johnnies point guard position during the 2023-24 season.
The Delaware native became the first player since the 2015-16 season to record at least 300 points, 100 assists, 100 rebounds and 50 steals in a single season — following in the footsteps of the program’s all-time leading scorer Aliyyah Handford.
