Tyra Taylor Tyra Taylor 5'11" | PF West Memphis | 2025 State AR might just be the most active player in all of 5A. You could even argue in the entire state of Arkansas! Taylor is practically unstoppable in the paint, as she dominates with her high activity and fierce determination.

Taylor is one of the best rebounders in the Natural State, and she uses her length, athleticism, and precise timing to be that. She boxes out well, but her vertical allows her to snatch board after board. Taylor does not know how to give up on a play, which is great for her team. She fights for every loose ball and there is nothing the other team can do about it.

Taylor’s rebounding is elite on both sides of the ball. On offense, her teammates could miss every shot and Taylor will probably rebound more than half of those misses. On defense, she is getting all of the misses.

There are not many players who can seemingly dominate the game of basketball off of activity and intensity alone, but Tyra Taylor Tyra Taylor 5'11" | PF West Memphis | 2025 State AR can. Her energy can also be very beneficial on the defensive end. With a strong senior season (it would be a shock if that did not happen), colleges will come calling the natural power forward.
