Butler basketball alum Kilyn McGuff signed a professional contract with Rutronik Stars Keltern, a premier women’s basketball team located in Southern Germany. Rutronik Stars Keltern compete in the Damen-Basketball-Bundesliga League and recently won titles in 2025, 2023, 2021, and 2018.
 
“We are thrilled for Ki to get this incredible opportunity to play professionally”, Head Coach Austin Parkinson said. “She was one of the best rebounding guards in the nation last year and I have no doubt, that with her defensive tenacity and ability to shoot the three, that she will be very successful overseas.”
 
While with the Bulldogs, McGuff earned Second Team All-BIG EAST accolades by averaging 12.6 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. She led the team in scoring 13 times and in rebounding 24 times!
 
McGuff was the only Bulldog to start in all 34 games for Parkinson last year and her 266 rebounds were the 10th-most by a Bulldog in a single-season.
 
McGuff ranked fifth in the BIG EAST Conference in rebounding and was 17th in scoring. She topped 1,000 career points in a contest at UConn (2/2) and led all BU players with 10 double doubles.
 
McGuff is the second Bulldog to turn pro after the 2024-25 campaign. Sydney Jaynes will also play in the DBBL this upcoming season as a member of Eisvögel USC Freiburg.
