Ohio State Women’s Basketball Lands Top Prospect Daria “Dasha” Biriuk
The Ohio State Buckeyes women’s basketball team has made a significant addition to its roster with the commitment of Daria “Dasha” Biriuk, a highly touted 6-foot-1 guard from The Webb School in Bell Buckle, Tennessee. Biriuk, originally from Ukraine, has quickly risen as one of the top prospects in the 2025 recruiting class, drawing interest from multiple Power Five programs before choosing Ohio State.
A dynamic and versatile player, Biriuk has been a standout at The Webb School, where she has displayed elite scoring ability, court vision, and defensive prowess. Her length and athleticism make her a tough matchup on both ends of the floor, and her ability to play multiple positions adds depth and flexibility to the Buckeyes’ lineup.
Biriuk’s commitment bolsters an Ohio State program that has been on the rise under head coach Kevin McGuff. The Buckeyes have consistently competed at the top of the Big Ten and have made deep runs in the NCAA Tournament in recent years. Adding a player of Biriuk’s caliber further strengthens their recruiting pipeline and solidifies their future as a national contender.
“I chose Ohio State because of the coaching staff, the team culture, and the opportunity to develop my game at the highest level,” Biriuk said. “I’m excited to be a Buckeye and can’t wait to get to work.”
With Biriuk’s commitment, Ohio State continues to build a formidable roster capable of competing for championships. Her ability to contribute immediately as a freshman will be key to the Buckeyes’ success in the coming seasons. Fans in Columbus can look forward to watching one of the most promising young talents in women’s basketball take the court in scarlet and gray.
