High-Energy Guard for Alabama State Lady Hornets with Elite Rebounding and Clutch Scoring
Amari Franklin, a 6-foot guard for the Alabama State Lady Hornets, stands out as a high-intensity, all-around performer who defies traditional guard expectations with elite rebounding—averaging 3.4 rebounds per game in the 2024-25 season while posting a 1.6 offensive rebound rate [2]. Her differentiator is her fearless, physical style: she led the team in a standout 23-point, 14-rebound double-double against Arkansas-Pine Bluff on February 15, 2025, shooting 55.6% from the field and 90.9% from the line in that game [1]. Though her overall shooting efficiency was modest (21.8% FG, 26.9% 3PT) across 18 games, Franklin’s relentless drive, defensive hustle (2.4 steals per game), and ability to control the paint make her a perfect fit for teams needing grit, versatility, and a guard who plays with championship-level intensity. No known injury history; her personality is described as fiercely competitive and team-first.
