LONG BEACH, Calif. – Long Beach State has officially signed Kailyn Berry, a standout forward from Howard College and one of the most productive players in the WJCAC.
Kailyn Berry | Forward | 5-10 | Edmond, Okla.
Berry arrives at Long Beach State following two strong seasons at Howard College, where she developed into one of the top all-around players in her conference. A three-time WJCAC Women's Basketball Player of the Week selection, Berry played a key role in helping the Lady Hawks to a 21-9 record during her sophomore campaign and a berth in the NJCAA Region V Tournament.
A consistent double-double threat, Berry combined physical rebounding with perimeter scoring ability, highlighted by multiple standout performances. Among them was a 21-point, 12-rebound, 3-block effort against No. 8 New Mexico Junior College, along with a 23-point, 10-rebound performance on Sophomore Night. She also showcased efficiency from the perimeter, shooting 55% from three-point range in a key conference victory.
Head Coach Amy Wright on Berry:
Berry joins a 2026-27 class built on skill and versatility, and will bring immediate scoring, rebounding, and competitive intensity to the Beach when she arrives in Long Beach.
