Ja’Riyah Palmer Ja’Riyah Palmer PG/SG Forrest City | 2028 State AR at #49 is ridiculous. After earning all-conference honors as a freshman last season, I would expect Palmer to have a huge sophomore year.
Palmer did a bit of everything with the Lady Mustangs in her first year on varsity, performing well in a number of games. Against Russellville in December, the freshman guard starred with 22 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals. Around the same time, Palmer nearly had a unique triple-double, officially logging 19 points, 8 assists, and 9 steals in another December matchup.
Palmer can clearly score the ball, as she can create shots with her great handles. She can hit perimeter jumpers effectively, but she is a master at finding gaps in the defense and scoring in the lane. On defense, there are few better than Palmer at picking the opposition’s pockets. She can also provide hounding on-ball pressure for the entire length of the floor and throughout the game.
Ja’Riyah Palmer Ja’Riyah Palmer PG/SG Forrest City | 2028 State AR could be in line for an all-state caliber year in 2025-26, but I think she will rise in the rankings after the next update. Keep up with this young star.
