The transfer portal has delivered its latest headline, with former University of Evansville standout Camryn Runner announcing her commitment to Colorado State University. The sophomore guard made the move official via social media on Monday, signaling a significant new chapter in her promising collegiate career.
Runner, a 5'8" point guard from Cicero, Indiana, was a foundational piece for the Purple Aces. Her departure marks a notable shift, as she was the first UE player to enter the portal even before the exit of head coach Robyn Scherr. During her time at Evansville, Runner didn't just play; she made history. She became the program's first women's player to record a triple-double, a testament to her versatile and dominant style on the court.
Her accolades tell the story of a rising star. After being named the All-Missouri Valley Conference Freshman of the Year in 2025, she followed up with a selection to the All-MVC Second Team this past season. Runner was the engine of the Aces' offense, leading the team in scoring (18.2 PPG), rebounds (5.6 RPG), and assists (5.3 APG).
Runner now heads to the Mountain West Conference, joining former teammate Jelena Savic (Sacramento State) as the early Evansville transfers to find new homes. For Colorado State, securing a player of Runner's caliber—a proven scorer, playmaker, and rebounder from the guard position—is a major coup that will instantly elevate their backcourt. This move is one for fans of dynamic guard play and relentless effort to watch closely as the next season approaches.
