You will find her going hard after rebounds, setting screens, and talking on defense. She never stops working hard, is always positive, and excels in the classroom as a student. Jayln is always helping others whether on the court or just making everyone around her laugh and smile off the court. \u00a0 She is a great example for all student-athletes of how to be a leader both on and off the court.
