Maya Ellis gives Virginia State a steady two-way punch in the backcourt
In the 2025-26 season, Maya Ellis has been a reliable guard for Virginia State, averaging 7.2 rebounds and 15 total games played while providing perimeter scoring and rebounding from the wing. She’s shown real value as a shot-maker and grinder — including games with 18 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 steals, plus a 15-point, 8-rebound outing — and one reliable source noted she ranks 10th in the CIAA in three-pointers made per game. If a team wants a tough, active guard who can space the floor, rebound like a forward, and bring edge on defense, Ellis fits the bill.
