Texas Tech gets a long, versatile defender-rebounder in Mariam Sanogo
Sanogo is a 6-foot-2 senior forward/guard who brings **defense, rebounding, and positional versatility** to Texas Tech, coming off a 2024-25 Canisius season in which she started 26 of 31 games, averaged 5.6 points and 4.6 rebounds, and led the team in blocks while ranking second in steals. She is not a floor-spacer yet, but her length, activity, and willingness to guard bigger players make her a useful glue piece; Texas Tech also highlighted her own view that defense is her strength because she can defend on bigs.
