Nailah Mayes is a hyper-efficient paint scorer with a breakout ceiling for West Alabama
In the 2025-26 season, Nailah Mayes has been one of West Alabama’s most reliable frontcourt pieces, averaging 10.2 points and 4.6 rebounds in 19.8 minutes while shooting 55.6% from the field and earning CSC Academic All-District honors[5][14]. Her best trait is efficiency: she posted a perfect 10-for-10 shooting game for 27 points and 12 rebounds against Mississippi College, and earlier dropped a career-high 32 points in just 23 minutes, showing real “give me the ball and get out of the way” energy[6][11]. At 5'9", she wins with strength, touch, and hustle more than size, making her a smart fit for teams that need a productive, high-motor forward who brings production and maturity on and off the court[2][5].
