Aquinas College

Jessie Stickler joins the Saints after an outstanding multi-sport career at Jenison High School. A basketball team captain, Stickler was recognized as one of the top Division I forwards in Michigan by the MLive Coaches Survey and received the 2026 Outstanding Senior Student-Athlete Award from the Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan. She also earned Team Academic All-State honors in basketball, Academic All-State recognition in softball and the OK Conference Scholar-Athlete Award.

She helped lead her basketball team to a district championship while competing three varsity seasons in basketball and two in softball. Stickler chose Aquinas because of its strong team culture and welcoming small-school atmosphere.

She defines success as continually growing both in the classroom and on the basketball court. Away from athletics, Stickler enjoys reading, swimming and proudly embraces life as an only child.
