"I am super excited to announce the addition of Breya Cunningham and her family to our Longhorn family," head coach Vic Schaefer said. "I recruited her two years ago out of high school when she was the No. 2 ranked player in the country in the 2023 class. Breya will bring experience and inside presence, as well as the ability to impact our program immediately. She comes from a wonderful family who I really enjoyed getting to know throughout the recruiting process during our first time around. Her experience at the power five level will enable her to adapt immediately as well as impact our program immediately."
Cunningham averaged 11.0 points and 7.0 rebounds per game for the 2024-25 season.
Cunningham was fourth in the Big 12 in blocked shots with 56, which was also sixth in Arizona program history for blocked shots in a season.
