Zaria Hurston brings veteran size, rebound help, and timely scoring for Southern
In the 2025-26 season, Southern guard Zaria Hurston has been a steady two-way piece, highlighted by a 13-point SWAC title-game outing and multiple double-digit or near-double-digit scoring nights in Southern’s run to another conference crown.[4][7][13] At 6-foot and with a background that included 1,000+ high school points and 700+ rebounds, she gives the Jaguars useful size on the perimeter, physicality in the paint, and enough toughness to impact winning even when the box score is modest.[6] If a team wants a guard who plays with edge, competes defensively, and fits a winning culture, Hurston looks like the kind of glue player worth caring about.[7][15]
