LSU's Kim Mulkey Signs Former Iowa State Point Guard Jada Williams Out of Transfer Portal

Williams averaged 15.3 points and 7.7 assists last season and is expected to fill LSU’s point guard opening.

  • On Sunday, LSU head coach Kim Mulkey secured a commitment from former Iowa State guard Jada Williams, ranked as a top-10 player in the transfer portal.
  • Mulkey recruited the guard to address the departure of point guard Jada Richard, who entered the transfer portal last Thursday after a breakout sophomore year.
  • Williams averaged 15.3 points and 7.7 assists per game during her junior season, finishing as one of only nine Division I players to average at least 15 points and five assists nightly.
  • The addition follows Saturday's signing of Florida Gators senior wing Laila Reynolds, giving LSU six perimeter players on its 2026-27 roster.
  • Despite these backcourt additions, Mulkey faces a major need for post players before the transfer portal closes on April 20.
