Emani Burks is Nicholls’ glass-cleaning, rim-protecting frontcourt anchor
In the 2025-26 season, Emani Burks has been a steady two-way forward for Nicholls, averaging 6.2 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game while also ranking among the team’s more efficient frontcourt options. At 6-foot-2, her value goes beyond the box score: Nicholls’ own notes say she’s one of only four Southland players averaging 6+ rebounds and 1+ block, which screams impact defense and rebounding presence. She looks like a fit for teams needing toughness, interior length, and a reliable board-getter who can change possessions without needing the ball.
