Maryam Dauda’s impact goes way beyond the court

Maryam Dauda isn’t just making plays for the Gamecocks—she’s shaping the team’s culture. Coach Dawn Staley says Dauda’s leadership, energy, and positivity have become a cornerstone for South Carolina, both in games and behind the scenes. Whether she’s firing up the crowd with a clutch three or welcoming recruits, Dauda’s influence is everywhere. Staley even said she’d hire Dauda in a heartbeat if she ever steps away from basketball. It’s rare to see a player’s off-court presence valued this much. What do you think—should more teams look for leaders like Dauda? #Sports #Gamecocks #MaryamDauda
