Teaira McCowan is a paint-eating, record-setting rebound machine
McCowan’s calling card is brutally clear: at Mississippi State, she finished with the program’s all-time rebounding mark (1,502), top FG percentage (59.7%), and 271 blocks, while also anchoring back-to-back national title-game runs. In the 2018-19 season, she averaged 18.4 points, 13.5 rebounds, and shot 66.2% from the field, which tells you exactly why coaches loved her—elite size, efficient scoring, and defensive rim protection. She’s the kind of center who changes shot selection, cleans the glass, and gives a team a reliable interior focal point.
