Ole Miss women’s basketball continues to strengthen its roster, securing a commitment from Wichita State transfer **Jayla Murray**. The 6-foot forward announced her decision to join the Rebels, bringing versatility and experience to head coach **Yolett McPhee-McCuin’s** squad.
Murray, who spent the 2023-24 season with the Shockers, averaged **6.2 points and 4.8 rebounds per game**, showcasing her ability to contribute on both ends of the floor. Before her time at Wichita State, she began her college career at Saint Louis, where she developed into a reliable frontcourt presence. Her defensive intensity and rebounding ability should complement Ole Miss’s physical style of play in the SEC.
Murray’s decision to transfer comes as the Rebels continue to build a competitive roster capable of contending in the conference. Ole Miss finished the 2023-24 season with a strong showing, reaching the NCAA Tournament and proving to be a formidable opponent in the SEC. With key departures, adding experienced players like Murray is crucial for maintaining the program’s momentum.
Coach McPhee-McCuin has made it clear that she values toughness and defensive effort, two qualities Murray consistently displayed at Wichita State. Her ability to crash the boards and defend multiple positions will provide valuable depth for the Rebels.
Murray joins a growing list of transfers and recruits looking to make an impact in Oxford. As Ole Miss continues to make moves this offseason, expectations remain high for another strong campaign.
With this latest addition, the Rebels further solidify their frontcourt, and fans can expect Murray to bring energy and experience to the floor when she suits up in the red and blue next season.
