Efficient NC State post presence, but minutes and role have fluctuated
In the 2024-25 season, NC State center Mallory Collier was a steady interior option off the bench, shooting 57.3% from the field, averaging 3.1 points and 2.3 rebounds in 11.4 minutes per game, and ranking fourth on the team with 37 offensive rebounds. Her appeal is the old-school stuff that travels: size, efficiency, and a willingness to do dirty-work minutes without needing plays called for her. She was a top-55 recruit out of high school, but her value has been more about dependable paint play than star power, and her transfer-portal decision in 2026 suggests a search for a bigger role.
