UTEP Freshman Forward Mary Moses Amaniyo: 6'1" Ugandan Import with Elite Size and Untapped Potential
Mary Moses Amaniyo, a 6'1" freshman forward from Arua, Uganda, brings rare international size and raw athleticism to the UTEP Miners, though her 2024-25 season reflected the team's struggles with just 11 wins and a 4-14 conference record[1]. Her differentiator is her physical profile as an active, high-intensity player who can dominate the paint with her height, even if she hasn't yet translated that into elite statistical production as a rookie. While she needs development in consistency and shooting, her intensity and defensive potential make her a high-upside fit for teams seeking a physical interior presence who can grow into a star, provided you're willing to invest in her development rather than expect immediate scoring dominance.
