Native of Orangeburg, South Carolina, Nyilah Jamison-Myers has been hit with multiple injuries throughout her basketball journey, dating back to her days in high school at Orangeburg-Wilkinson, but has continued to bounce back on the court in big ways.
In ninth grade, Jamison-Myers stood at 6-foot-2, but didn’t exactly have the feel for the game in just her second season on the hardwood.
“I was trash for a while,” Jamison-Myers said. “I still played varsity my freshman year because I was tall but I liked my time on JV (junior varsity) as well that season.”
For whomever has watched Jamison-Myers play basketball lately, hearing her describe herself as once “trash” on the court would be a struggle, but sports were one time not a priority for the 6-foot-3 redshirt junior at Charlotte.
