Texas State’s energy forward with promising freshman upside
Kaliyah Murphy is a true freshman forward for Texas State who has already carved out a real role, appearing in 28 games and averaging 3.9 points and 2.5 rebounds in 2025-26 while playing about 10 minutes a night. She profiles as a developing, low-drama fit: a bench contributor who brings size, activity, and steady production without forcing the offense. The appeal is upside and coachability—she’s already earned minutes early, which usually signals trust, toughness, and room to grow into a larger role.
