After four years in Florida, Taylor Jameson said it was a “no-brainer” to return to Wichita for her last year of NCAA eligibility.

“I wanted to come back home,” Jameson said.

Jameson, a 2020 Wichita Heights High School graduate, signed with George Mason University to play college ball. After four years with the team, she joined the transfer portal in May.

While she had an offer from Wichita State almost immediately, she took her time to accept it, despite its appeal.

“As a Wichita kid, I didn’t really know if I wanted to come back here because being away from home so long had taught me so much about myself that coming back here, I didn’t know (if) it would be taking steps back, … like as a person, not even as a player,” she said.
