4/8/2025 6:30:00 PM | Women's Basketball
Averaged 14.2 points, 6.5 assists and six rebounds per game at Notre Dame
FORT WORTH – TCU has landed the top overall player in the transfer portal.
Olivia Miles, a three-time All-American point guard, announced her decision to join the TCU women's basketball program as a graduate student for the 2025-26 season on Tuesday.
Miles averaged 14.2 points, 6.5 assists and six rebounds per game across a four-year run at Notre Dame from 2021-25. She was named a finalist for the Nancy Lieberman Point Guard of the Year award and earned All-ACC first team accolades in three seasons (2022, 2023, 2025).
"There is not a better point guard in the country than Olivia," said TCU head coach Mark Campbell. "She is a generational talent. Her vision, creativity, and playmaking ability make her a perfect fit in our pick and roll system. Olivia has won at the highest level and will add to the incredible foundation our program has built. I am excited to lock arms and spend the next 10 months working alongside her as we look to take TCU women's basketball to the next level."
Miles was the projected No. 2 overall pick in Monday's WNBA Draft but elected to utilize her final year of college eligibility.
Originally from Phillipsburg, New Jersey, Miles and Campbell first crossed paths during her high school career. Miles was graded the No. 8 overall player and No. 2 point guard in the ESPN HoopGurlz class of 2021 recruiting rankings. Campbell recruited Miles out of Blair Academy in Blairstown, New Jersey, during his tenure as associate head coach at Oregon before Miles ultimately signed with the Fighting Irish.
The 5-10 playmaker will enter next season as the most accomplished point guard in college basketball. Miles is the active NCAA leader in assists per game and total assists (654). She is the only returning player who has tallied at least 1,400 career points, 600 assists and 600 rebounds. Miles also tops the national ranks in career triple-doubles with six and is the sole D1 player with at least 25 career double-doubles and five triple-doubles. She led the ACC in assist per game average in each of her three full seasons on the court.
The 2024-25 campaign saw Miles morph into the only player in the country who averaged 15 points, five assists and five rebounds per game while shooting 40 percent from deep. In the last 15 years, only Iowa's Caitlin Clark and Oregon's Sabrina Ionescu have achieved the feat in addition to Miles. She averaged a career-high 15.4 points per game while connecting at a 41 percent clip (73-180) behind the arc. Miles increased her 3-point percentage by 18 points from the previous season.
Miles led Notre Dame to a 28-6 overall record and share of the ACC regular season championship in her final year in South Bend. Behind Miles, the Irish won 19 straight games from December-February and vaulted to No. 1 in The Associated Press poll.
She was a leading candidate for nearly every national player of the year award this season. Miles was one of 10 semifinalists for the Naismith Award and received late-season consideration for both the Wooden Award and Ann Meyers-Drysdale National Player of the Year Award.
Miles was tabbed a second team All-American by both the Wooden Award and U.S. Basketball Writers Association and was unanimously selected to the All-ACC first team. Miles is one of just two Notre Dame players to be honored as an All-ACC first teamer three times.
She led the nation with three triple-doubles and became the first player in ACC history to record a triple-double in back-to-back games. Miles missed the entire 2023-24 season due to a torn ACL. In Notre Dame's 2024-25 season opener against Mercyhurst (Nov. 4), Miles finished with a 20-point, 10-rebound and 10-assist triple-double. She became the first NBA, WNBA or men's or women's college basketball player to ever post a 20-point triple-double in their first game back following a yearlong injury absence.
Miles was the lone player in the ACC ranking in the top five in assists per game (first), 3-point percentage (third) and assist-to-turnover ratio (2.3, fourth). She was one of just seven players in the country who averaged at least 5.5 assists per night while maintaining an assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.3 or better.
As a sophomore in 2022-23, Miles averaged 14.3 points, a career-best 7.2 rebounds and an ACC-leading 6.9 assists per game. She finished as the runner-up for ACC Player of the Year and was honored as one of the final five players in contention for the Lieberman Award.
Miles' freshman season left an imprint on both the ACC and NCAA record books. She led Notre Dame in scoring (13.7 ppg) and ranked second in America in assists per game (7.4). Miles was also one of just two players alongside Clark to average at least 13 points, seven assists and five rebounds per game.
She became the first male or female freshman in NCAA Tournament history to record a triple-double in March Madness during Notre Dame's Sweet 16 run. Miles averaged a near triple-double in the Big Dance (14 ppg, 9.7 apg, 8 rpg).
Miles was an early enrollee in 2020-21 and saw action in six games for the Fighting Irish, averaging 9.3 points per game.
She completed her bachelor's degree in political science at Notre Dame in 2024 and will earn a master's degree in nonprofit administration later this spring.
