Jackson State’s proven two-way guard with elite defensive chops
Carena Easley has a strong track record as a disruptive, high-motor guard for Jackson State, highlighted by being the SWAC Defensive Player of the Year in 2008 and leading the conference in steals that season with 3.43 per game, while also ranking among the nation’s best at No. 8 in steals per game.[4] She paired that edge with efficient scoring and heavy minutes, which points to a player who could change possession battles, pressure the ball, and bring veteran competitive juice to a team that values toughness and pace.[4]
