Ameshya Williams-Holliday: Jackson State’s paint anchor and two-way problem-solver
In the 2021-22 season, Ameshya Williams-Holliday was the engine of Jackson State’s frontcourt, averaging 19.2 points, 11.4 rebounds and 2.7 blocks while earning SWAC Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year honors. She’s a true interior force: physical on the glass, efficient around the rim, and disruptive as a shot blocker. What makes her special is the tone she sets—tough, relentless, and proven in big games—plus the leadership that helped power Jackson State’s run of wins and NCAA Tournament success. If you need a center who controls the paint, she’s your kind of chaos.
