Shiyah Forte brings defensive activity and perimeter upside to Kentucky State
Forte, a 6-foot sophomore forward from Hopkinsville, Kentucky, is a young rotational piece for Kentucky State whose early 2025-26 impact shows energy and ball disruption: in her first recorded game she posted 2 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 steals in 18 minutes.[1] Reliable team-sourced info also describes her as a "true sharpshooter" with a quick release and high basketball IQ, which suggests her value goes beyond box-score scoring when her shot is falling.[2] For a team, she looks like a fit if you want a developmental wing/forward who can defend, space the floor, and grow into a more consistent two-way contributor.[1][2]
