Finishing up her 5th year at the Ohio State University (graduate student) where she averaged 15.6 points, 49.2%  from the field for her career with numerous awards and honors starting 118 of a possible 130 games dating back to 2019.

Coming out of high school (Dublin Coffman) Sheldon was three-time Ohio Ms. Basketball finalist and three-time first team All-Ohio honoree.

She is the first Buckeye to go in the first round since alum Kelsey Mitchell, with the WNBA season starting up May 14 there isn't much time to enjoy especially with the limited roster spots in the top league.
