Freshman F/C Tamia Watkins: Double-Double Machine with Elite CAA Rookie Honors
Tamia Watkins, a 6'2" freshman F/C for Elon Phoenix, delivered an immediate impact in the 2025-26 season, averaging 7.7 points and 5.6 rebounds while earning All-CAA Rookie Team honors and three CAA Rookie of the Week selections. Her differentiator is her relentless intensity and ability to secure double-doubles, including a standout 16-point, 10-rebound game vs. William & Mary. Modeling her game after AJ Wilson and Kobe Bryant, she brings a 'God first' mindset and state-champion pedigree from 2AA South Carolina. With no injury history and a 47.9% field goal percentage, she is a high-fit, high-intensity prospect for any team needing a reliable, battle-tested interior presence who thrives under pressure.
