The rebound thief who turned effort into a Lady Raider identity
In the 2018-19 season, Zuri Sanders was a force on the glass for Texas Tech, averaging 8.0 points and 10.4 rebounds per game while adding 2.2 assists and 1.4 steals. Her calling card was relentless rebounding—she led the Big 12 in several rebounding categories, ranked among the NCAA’s top rebounders, and posted 5.0 offensive boards per game, a brutal little nightmare for opponents. Beyond the numbers, she brought toughness, steady two-way effort, and veteran dependability as the lone senior starter. If your team wants frontcourt grit and a high-motor rebounder, she fits.
