4/10/2026 | Women's Basketball
OXFORD, Miss. – Ole Miss women's basketball head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin remains busy in the portal, signing Maya Anderson, a two-way player from San Jose State, for the 2025-26 campaign.
"Maya is a hidden gem," said McPhee-McCuin. "Her toughness and physicality will help her have a great transition to this conference! Her potential is through the roof and I can't wait until she gets back on campus with us!"
Starting in all 32 games at San Jose State, Anderson led the Spartans during the 2025-26 season in scoring (13.9), rebounds (6.7), and steals (1.4). Prior to redshirting the 2024-25 season, the Toronto, Ontario, native made 17 starts in 24 appearances as a true freshman, averaging 5.4 points per game, while shooting 63.3 percent from the free throw line.
Anderson holds a career-high 29 points against Sacramento State this past season, and grabbed 15 rebounds versus Colorado State in the Spartans' regular season finale.
In high school, she earned five MVP honors, including the 2022 Conference Championship MVP award, then led Crestwood Preparatory College to win the 2023 Ontario Scholastic Basketball Association State Championship the following year. Anderson participated in the Biosteel All-Canadian Game her junior and senior year, which features the top high school basketball players from across Canada.
Joining Talaysia Cooper and Emily Howard as the third addition for the Rebels out of the transfer portal, along with returners Desrae Kyles, Lauren Jacobs and Sira Thienou, Ole Miss currently has six student-athletes on its 2026-27 roster with more to come.
