She then headed to junior college Gulf State Coast for two seasons where she averaged 17.5 points, 12.1 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game, on 73% shooting, leading her team to a 22-3 record.

Stand-out performances have included a 25-point and 23-rebound game against Shelton State, 22-point and 26-rebound game against South Georgia Tech and a 28-point and 20-rebound game against Colombia State on 13/14 shooting.

The British prospect won Hoopsfix Pro-Am MVP at just 18-years-old in 2022 and is a three-time Hoopsfix All-star Classic select.

Ozzy-Momodu will be the first Brit to play at Maryland since Yemi Oyefuwa, who played there from 2008 to 2011.

Her sister Ire has already been part of the Great Britain senior set-up and it may not be long before her younger sister joins her.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
