Texas State’s high-motor, two-way spark plug in the paint
In the 2025-26 season, Kyla McBride is emerging as a versatile forward for Texas State who impacts the game beyond scoring, with a standout defensive burst highlighted by a five-block, six-steal performance against Troy and a team-leading block rate noted in stat leaders.[9][14] She arrived from Northwest Florida State after helping the Raiders reach back-to-back NJCAA championship games and brings the kind of edge, length and championship experience coaches love in a frontcourt piece.[1][6] If your team needs a tough, active, defensive-minded forward who can create chaos and play with urgency, she fits the bill.[1][9]
