Chicago-Bred 6'0" Forward with Solid Scoring Punch from Tennessee Tech '25
Taris Thornton, a gritty 6'0" forward from Chicago, IL, wrapped her Tennessee Tech career in 2025 averaging 7.6 PTS, 3.9 REB, and 1.0 AST at 44.6% FG—efficient inside scoring with rebounding tenacity that screams big-city hustle.[2][1] Her differentiator? Relentless motor and Chicago toughness, thriving in physical play without injury red flags, now balling pro in Portugal's Liga Feminina with Esgueira Aveiro.[5] Care factor: Battle-tested depth scorer who elevates benches. Perfect fit for teams needing tough, reliable forwards who punch above stats.
