Player: Taniyah Thomas
Class: 2025
School: East Lincoln
Committed to North Carolina A&T for Softball
East Lincoln Lady Mustangs is a very interesting team with talent to be found on the roster, as they showed that at the Phenom 828 Showcase this past weekend. One player, who is actually a multi-sport athlete, grabbed our attention and we are here to highlight more of her game and impact.
2025 Taniyah Thomas, who is committed to North Carolina A&T already for softball, is proving to be a critical piece on the court for her team this year. As a senior, she is shining in a variety of ways, averaging 13.1ppg, 4.7rpg, 4.1apg, and 4.9spg this season. At the Phenom 828, Thomas was really able to impress with her assertive nature and ability to make plays off the bounce, attacking defenders, getting inside consistently, and finding ways to finish through contact. She was able to flourish as a creator and really impacted the game in a variety of ways.
What Was Said:
“Thomas was the one that stood out in my eyes with her play and assertiveness, especially in the second half. Time after time, she was able to make plays and force the action, attacking and getting inside the paint, scoring tough around the basket, embracing contact, and finding ways to get to the line on several occasions. Really liked her overall toughness and gritty play in the game.”
“2025 Taniyah Thomas is one tough, scrappy guard. Time after time she has attacked the defense and has been able to finish through contact or get to the free throw line. Has been assertive here in the second half.”
