A four-year starter for the Blacksburg girls’ basketball team has announced plans to continue her playing career at Ferrum University. Brynn Ferguson, a 5-6 point guard, made the announcement last week.
Ferguson earned all-district and all-region honors for the past three years and averaged 12 points per game during her sophomore and junior years. She is also close to hitting the 1,000-point milestone this season.
She said she chose Ferrum due to its coaching staff being in contact and showing interest since her freshman year.
“I’ve always had dreams of furthering my athletic career and Ferrum felt like the great place to do it. I also deiced to commit to Ferrum because of location and being close to home.”
Ferrum is a private college in Rocky Mount, Virginia, and has a current enrollment of 780 undergraduate students. Its athletic teams compete in Division III of the NCAA in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC). In 2025, Ferrum will move to NCAA Division II as a member of Conference Carolinas.
The school’s basketball team is currently 2-1 in the earlier season. Last year, they finished 10-16.
Bryan Harvey is in his 20th year as the head coach.
As an incoming freshman, Ferguson plans to do whatever it takes to see the floor the first year.
“My ultimate goal is to start as a freshman and hopefully win all conference awards,” she said.
Ferguson plans on majoring in sports marketing/management with a possible minor in sports medicine.
“Sports have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve always wanted to stay around sports whenever my playing career is over, which is why I choose these career paths,” she said.
