Efficient, physical South Alabama forward who can heat up in a hurry
In the 2024-25 season, Elijah Ormiston gave South Alabama a reliable frontcourt scorer at 6-foot-8, 220 pounds, finishing at 8.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game while shooting 52.7% from the field and 79.2% at the line. He showed real swing-game juice with 26 points against Marshall and 28 points plus 10 rebounds against Louisiana, signaling a forward who can punish smaller defenders, rebound his area and stretch a defense with timely shooting. That mix of efficiency, toughness and low-drama production makes him a useful fit for teams wanting a connector who can score without hijacking the offense.
