Talladega's Rebounding Force with Defensive Fire
La'Daja Caldwell, a 5'9" forward for Talladega College's Lady Tornadoes, stands out with her elite rebounding prowess—grabbing 10 boards in a dominant 64-37 road win over Morris in February 2026—and defensive tenacity, honed from high school steals leadership at 2.8 SPG (top in AAAA Region 1, 2022-23) and career 2.0 SPG across 79 games. Her intensity on the glass and ability to control the paint make her a gritty, high-motor fit for teams needing interior dominance and hustle plays, backed by Talladega's recent sweep showcasing balanced team success.
