SIAC Newcomer of the Week with Elite Free-Throw Precision and Fourth-Quarter Dominance
Khalia Bryant, a 5-11 junior forward for Kentucky State Thorobreds, stands out in the 2024-2025 season with six double-doubles, including a 13-point, 13-rebound performance against Central State, and near-perfect free-throw shooting (9-of-10). Her differentiator is her intense fourth-quarter rally leadership, helping secure a 51-47 comeback win, and her nickname 'Pooda' reflects her fierce, playful personality that energizes teammates. With no major injury history and a high intensity level, she’s a reliable fit for teams needing a versatile frontcourt player who excels under pressure and delivers in critical moments.
