Troy’s Rebounding Anchor with Real Rim-Protection Bite
In the 2023 season, Kate Rodgers gave Troy a dependable frontcourt edge: 6.3 rebounds per game, 24 blocks (team-high, seventh in the Sun Belt), and 23 starts in 27 appearances while helping the Trojans win their first-ever Sun Belt regular-season title. She’s a strong fit for teams needing a physical, experienced forward who cleans the glass, protects the paint, and does the dirty work without needing touches. The knock? Her scoring is modest, so her value is driven more by toughness, timing, and defensive impact than by big offensive numbers.
