Anissa Rivera brings proven frontcourt toughness and transfer value to Temple
Anissa Rivera is a **rebounding-minded forward** whose value starts with effort, physicality, and versatility; as a freshman at North Carolina Central in 2019, she grabbed a game-high 14 rebounds and earned MEAC Rookie of the Week honors, and she later transferred through Towson before joining Temple for the 2024-25 season.[5][6][3] The biggest reason to care: she looks like a player who can help a team with *hard-nosed interior work*, energy, and lineup flexibility rather than flashy scoring, and Temple’s staff clearly saw enough reliability and fit to add her to the roster.[3]
