Deng is a native of the Hunan Province in China.

She started her college career at Auburn, playing in a dozen games and making eight starts late in the 2024-25 season. She averaged 11.8 points and 2.5 boards as a Tiger while shooting 37% from deep. She scored in double figures in eight of those contests, including a 27-point outburst against Vanderbilt where she was 4-for-10 from 3 and also ripped down nine boards.

She had seven double-digit scoring outings at Baylor this past season, dropping 22 on Texas Tech in December in a game she went 4-for-5 from 3 in.

Deng joins a star-studded transfer class that Jacie Hoyt has assembled. The transfer hauls includes the portal’s top two players in Audi Crooks (Iowa State) and Liv McGill (Florida). Hoyt has also added Division-II Player of the Year Talexa Weeter, Okie sharpshooter Ellie Brueggemann, former five-star prospect LA Sneed, Rutgers breakout Nene Ndiaye and Missouri State transfer Zoe Canfield.
