Tkiyah Nelson is a steady all-around guard for Southern Illinois
Nelson is a 5'10" junior guard whose 2025-26 line shows balanced production: 5.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and a team-high 4.1 assists per game, which points to a connector who can facilitate and rebound from the backcourt.[2][5] Her 35.7% shooting suggests efficiency is still the separator to watch, but her value is in being a versatile, multi-positional guard with a playmaking profile rather than a pure scorer.[2]
