Norfolk State’s double-double engine with grown-up rebound grit
In the 2007-08 season, Areya Walker emerged as a classic inside-forward difference-maker for Norfolk State, stacking rebounds, efficient scoring, and timely playmaking with a very high motor; she posted a 19-point, 16.5-rebound average over one week, earned MEAC Player of the Week, and delivered multiple double-doubles, including a 16-point, 16-rebound outing. What makes her pop is the combo of physical rebounding, workmanlike toughness, and captain-level leadership—plus she could also create second chances and chip in steals and assists, making her a steady glue fit for teams needing edge, paint presence, and competitiveness.
