She averaged 10.9 points and two assists per game this season, and she ranks sixth all-time in Arizona State history with 209 steals.
Prince Amukamara was a first-round pick by the Giants in 2011. He was off to a strong start in 2014 before an injury ended his season in Week 9. Promise Amukamara is one of Prince's five sisters, and the family is very close.
