NKU's Steady Senior Forward with Defensive Pedigree
Tayah Irvin, the 6'1" senior forward for Northern Kentucky Norse, brings gritty defense and length from her high school days as Hamilton Heights Royals' top defender—averaging 1.3 steals per game over four varsity years—while posting modest 2023-24 stats of 1.4 PPG, 1.9 RPG, and 43.1% FG in limited minutes. Sister to ex-Michigan star Zak Irvin, she's a reliable role player with shooting range who logged key minutes in NKU's tight postseason losses, embodying hustle and team-first intensity; a smart fit for programs needing tough, versatile bench forwards without ego.
