NJIT’s old-school interior anchor with a rebounding pedigree
Wighton is best known for her size, board work, and rugged paint presence: in a 2007 NJIT game, she posted a career-best 12 rebounds in just 17 minutes, plus 5 points, 2 blocks, and 2 steals, a clean snapshot of a high-effort interior big who changes possessions. Her profile at NJIT also described her as the team’s tallest player, hinting at why she mattered as a matchup problem and rim presence. For any roster needing physicality, defensive rebounding, and a low-drama blue-collar frontcourt piece, she fits the mold.
