Kiayra Ellis gives McNeese a rugged two-way frontcourt edge
Kiayra Ellis emerged as a reliable interior presence for McNeese in the 2024-25 season, leading the Cowgirls in scoring with 9.4 points per game and blocks with 1.4 per game while also contributing 4.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists. She flashed upside with a career-high 21 points in a January 2025 game and finished the year as a high-minute, high-trust forward who could impact both ends. The fit is clear: she brings size, physicality, and defensive disruption, plus enough scoring touch to punish defenses that ignore her.
