Tiayo Adelekan is Chestnut Hill’s rebounding engine and two-way forward
Adelekan has emerged as one of Chestnut Hill’s most reliable interior players, averaging 11.7 points and 7.5 rebounds in 11 starts in the 2025-26 season after posting 10.2 points and 6.4 rebounds per game as a freshman in 2024-25.[3] She also earned CACC Defensive Player of the Week honors by averaging 11.5 rebounds and 2.0 steals in a 1-1 week, a strong sign that her value goes beyond box-score scoring.[2] At 5'10", she brings production, motor, and defensive disruption—useful traits for a team that wants toughness, activity, and a forward who can impact winning without needing touches.[1][2][3]
