Norfolk State women’s basketball head coach Jermaine Woods announced Thursday the addition of Penn transfer and former McDonald’s All-American nominee Iyanna Rogers.
Rogers, a 6-foot-2 forward, appeared in 15 games for the Quakers during the 2023-24 season before an injury sidelined her for the 2024-25 campaign.
She shot 53.8% from the field and 50% from 3-point range as a junior, posting a season-high 12 points, seven rebounds and two blocks on 6-of-8 shooting against Gwynedd Mercy.
As a freshman, Rogers played in 11 games, tallying 16 points, 14 rebounds, three assists and three steals. She scored a freshman-season best 10 points and grabbed five rebounds against Gwynedd Mercy.
A Highland Springs High School standout, Rogers was a two-year captain and earned All-Region honors twice. She was named Second-Team All-State and Third-Team All-Metro and finished her junior season with 342 points, 196 rebounds, 89 blocks, 61 steals and 12 assists.
ESPN rated her a three-star prospect and ranked her among the top 60 players in the country.
Norfolk State is coming off a historic season that included its third consecutive MEAC Tournament championship and the program’s highest NCAA Tournament seeding at No. 13.
The Spartans have made four NCAA Tournament appearances in their program history.
