VERMILLION, S.D. – South Dakota women's basketball head coach Carrie Eighmey is pleased to announced the signing of Latazia Williamson, a senior transfer from Kennesaw State, to the Coyotes for the 2026-27 season.
 
Williamson joins the Coyotes after a breakout junior season at Kennesaw State, where she averaged 8.8 points and 5.5 rebounds over 29 games. She was a 46% shooter from the floor this season and registered 37 blocks and 26 steals on the defensive end.
 
"Latazia will make our team better on both ends of the floor!" Eighmey said. "She has great length and athleticism and plays with a high motor! She's a rim running, rebounding athlete with the ability to score around the rim in different ways. We are looking forward to her becoming a Yote!"

Over three seasons between Memphis and Kennesaw State, Williamson has seen action in 62 games, averaging 5.0 points and 3.6 rebounds in her career. In her first full season as a starter last season for the Owls, Williamson took advantage.
 
As a member of the Owls, Williamson totaled 12 double digit scoring games, including three 20-point games and a career high 21 against Jacksonville State in the regular season finale. She also recorded her first career double-double against Western Kentucky.
