Montavious Myrick is Eastern Kentucky’s hard-nosed glass-cleaner and defensive anchor
Myrick has emerged as a high-impact frontcourt piece for EKU, earning ASUN Preseason Defensive Player of the Year recognition after a 2024-25 breakout in which he averaged 6.8 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks while shooting 65% from the field. He stands out for rebounding, rim protection and energy plays, and his late-season surge showed he can be more than a role player. If you want a physical, low-mistake forward who brings toughness, second-chance production and defensive versatility, he fits.
