BUFFALO, NY – University at Buffalo women's basketball head coach Becky Burke announced her 2025 signing class on Wednesday. The Bulls welcome four student-athletes to a team that advanced to the Mid-American Conference Tournament championship game in the second season under Burke.
Neveah Dickman is a 6'0" guard/forward from Fishers, Indiana. She is coming off a breakout year at Fishers High School where she averaged 10.0 points and 6.0 rebounds per game, earning second-team All-Conference and All-State honorable mention honors as a junior for a Tigers squad that were state runners-up in the 2022-23 season.
Burke on Dickman: Nevaeh is an incredibly gifted athlete. It's rare to find a player with her size and athleticism that also has the skill set that she possesses. She is coming in physically ready for the college level and that is exciting for us. She brings a maturity, leadership and competitiveness that immediately makes our team better. Not to mention she is an outstanding student that will thrive at this University.
Molly Ladwig is a 5'9" guard from Blair, Nebraska. She has scored over 1,000 career points for Skutt Catholic and is the school's record holder for scoring and assists. She is a three-time All-Conference selection and has been named first-team All-State for two straight seasons while helping to lead the SkyHawks to consecutive State runner-up finishes. She also earned Super State second team honors as a junior. Off the court, Ladwig is a member of the Distinguished Honor Roll and a three-time Academic All-Conference honoree.
Burke on Ladwig: Molly is the ultimate floor general and competitor. She is someone you want leading your team and, in your huddles, and locker room. Molly wants to win and has the skill set to stand out on her own, but also make everyone around her better. She will score in bunches and make winning plays for our team on both ends of the floor. She is a player in which this city and fan base will fall in love.
Diann Jackson is a 6'1" forward from Chicago, Illinois where she plays for Kenwood Academy High School. Ranked in the top 10 in the state by Girls Preps Hoops, Jackson has led the Broncos in rebounding for two straight seasons. Jackson has also had the honor of playing for Team Puerto Rico at the 2025 FIBA Americup where she led the team in rebounding (9.5 rpg) and efficiency (10.2) and ranked second in scoring (8.2 ppg). She recorded three straight double-doubles, including a tournament-high 16 rebounds against Columbia and 13 points against the Dominican Republic.
Burke on Jackson: Diann is versatile big that has an extremely unique skill set at her position. She embraces being physical with her back to the basket but can also turn and face up with confidence. She's got high-level international playing experience that I believe has only elevated her game in the last year. She is someone we will need to be effective immediately for our team. Diann is a great person and loves to hoop, so she will fit right in here at Buffalo.
Daniah Trammell is a 6'1" forward from Cincinnati where she plays for Winton Woods High School. She led the Warriors in scoring and rebounding as a junior, while helping to guide them to a 19-6 overall record, including a 14-2 conference mark, best in the league and is a two-time All-State and All-Conference selection. Off the court, Trammell was also named one of 10 national finalists for the Jersey Mike's Naismith High School Basketball Courage Award, which is given out by the Atlanta Tipoff Club, the same organization that issues the Naismith Player of the Year awards for college and high school basketball.
Burke on Trammell: Daniah is a special talent. She competes at an extremely high level on both ends of the floor, and I love that about her. She's definitely going to test opponents' competitiveness and fire because hers is as good as it gets. I think she's selfless and loves the game of basketball which helps her embrace her role, whatever that may be, to help her team win. I expect Daniah to make an immediate impact on this program.
