MARTIN, Tenn. – University of Tennessee at Martin women’s basketball head coach Kevin McMillan has announced the addition of prep standout Mikayla Lambert to the program’s 2024 signing class.
“We are excited about adding Mikayla to our program,” McMillan said. “Unfortunately, she missed her senior season with an ACL tear and has spent the past several months rehabbing. She has worked really hard and has bounced back really well. She is strong and shoots the ball extremely well for a post while really loves to take charges and defend. Mikayla is a great teammate and hard worker that we are looking forward to seeing develop.”

She was rewarded for her strong play by earning all-conference honors along with all-state and all-state tournament team selections. Additionally, she was tabbed the 2023 Best Under the Sun Women’s Basketball and Volleyball Player of the Year.
