10/2/2024 | Women's Basketball
OXFORD, Miss. – Ole Miss sophomore J'Adore Young will medically redshirt the 2024-25 season, head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin announced on Wednesday.
During the 2023-24 season, Young sat out the majority of non-conference due to injury. Eventually she was able to appear off the bench in seven games for the Rebels, stringing together some impactful plays including a career-best two blocks at Kentucky, a career-high five points against Georgia and a season-best four rebounds twice.
A standout at Greenville High School, Young averaged 18.5 points, 13.9 rebounds, 6.7 blocks and 1.7 steals during her junior campaign. According to Prep Girls Hoops, she was ranked as the No. 3 high school player in South Carolina and was rated as a four-star prospect and the No. 99 player in the country by ESPN's HoopGurlz. Additionally, the Mauldin, South Carolina, native earned All-State accolades in 2021 and 2022 and played club for A'ja Wilson Elite.
Fans have their first chance to catch the Rebels in Oxford for its lone exhibition of the season, hosting Christian Brothers on Monday, Oct. 28 at the SJB Pavilion. Ole Miss will then head overseas to begin the regular season against USC for the 2024 Aflac Oui-Play on Monday, Nov. 4.
