Kaliyah Montoya Brings Rim-Protection Potential to Tennessee State
Montoya profiles as a valuable interior piece for Tennessee State because the Lady Tigers have shown a defense-first identity, and a center who can anchor the paint fits that style well[1]. Publicly available team coverage in the 2025-26 season highlights the program’s ability to hold opponents to poor shooting, which suggests Montoya’s appeal is less about flashy box-score volume and more about dependable size, defensive presence, and system fit[1].
