4/10/2026 | Women's Basketball
OXFORD, Miss. – Ole Miss women's basketball head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin and her staff continue to reload for the 2026-27 campaign, signing Knisha Godfrey, a guard from Florida, on Friday.
"Knisha is a vet and knows the SEC," said McPhee-McCuin. "Her leadership skills will be needed with Team 52, along with her understanding of the game. She is a floor general that wants to make everyone around her better. We are excited to have her finish her career with us here at Ole Miss."
As an in-conference transfer, Godfrey will be a valuable asset to the Rebels, as she played in 31 games for the Gators last season, averaging 2.2 points and 2.4 rebounds in 13.3 minutes off the bench. Prior to the season, she represented Florida at the 2025 USA Basketball 3X nationals.
Before moving to Gainesville, Godfrey played for TCU, where she tallied 25 points and 13 assists across 93 minutes as a junior. The Columbus, Ohio, native appeared in 26 games her freshman, scoring a career-best 26 points along with eight rebounds in the season-opener against Lipscomb, prior to taking a redshirt year.
In high school, Godfrey was ranked the No. 40 player in the country and the eighth-best point guard in the class of 2021 by espnW. She helped lead Tampa Bay Technical to the Florida 8A title, the first-ever state championship for the program, while also making two final four appearances, two regional championships and three district titles.
Joining Maya Anderson, Talaysia Cooper, and Emily Howard as the fourth addition for the Rebels out of the transfer portal, along with returners Desrae Kyles, Lauren Jacobs and Sira Thienou, Ole Miss currently has seven student-athletes on its 2026-27 roster with more to come.
