WHY A&M-COMMERCE: “I chose Texas A&M Commerce because it felt like a true home! As soon as I stepped on campus, I knew this place would be like my family. I get to play the sport I love under a coaching staff who care about me as a player and a person."
 
COACH BURTON’S THOUGHTS: “Nykale is a big guard that can really shoot the ball from three, high IQ, and can play both sides of the floor at a very high level. She is a coach’s daughter that brings a wealth of knowledge, great feel for the game, and great hunger to continue to improve. With three years left to play, we feel like she is another player that really secures our success for now and for the future.”
