Laila Fair is Morgan State’s defensive tone-setter in the paint
Fair, a 6-foot-2 senior forward, has emerged as a high-impact rebounder and rim protector for Morgan State, earning MEAC Defensive Player of the Week honors after a stretch that included a career-high 20 rebounds, 16 points, and a week-long average of 14.6 points and 11.0 rebounds[6][8][11]. She brings a physical, activity-heavy profile—defensive boards, blocks, steals, and interior scoring—which makes her valuable for teams that need a tough, possession-winning frontcourt presence rather than a pure shot-creator[6][8].
