Makoye Diawara is Norfolk State’s glue-piece forward with winning-game polish
In the 2024-25 season, Makoye Diawara was a steady, high-value forward for Norfolk State: she played in all 35 games, started 34, averaged 6.0 points and 5.2 rebounds, and shot 43.0% from the field while helping the Spartans win the MEAC title and go undefeated in conference play. Her calling card is toughness—she battled back from a major freshman ACL, MCL, and meniscus injury, then became a reliable rebounder, efficient finisher, and culture-setter. If you want an experienced, low-drama competitor who impacts winning without needing the spotlight, she fits beautifully.
