LSU’s Aneesah Morrow Named Top Female Athlete in Louisiana

Aneesah Morrow, a standout forward from Louisiana State University (LSU), has been awarded the prestigious Corbett Award as the top female athlete in Louisiana. This recognition comes from the Allstate Sugar Bowl and highlights Morrow’s exceptional performance throughout the season.

Morrow, a transfer from DePaul University, made a significant impact during her time at LSU. She averaged an impressive 18.7 points per game, while also leading the nation in rebounding with an average of 13.5 rebounds per game. Her total of 485 rebounds for the season ranks as the fourth highest in LSU history.

In addition to her scoring and rebounding prowess, Morrow achieved a remarkable milestone by recording 30 double-doubles throughout the season, the highest in the nation. Her contributions were pivotal in leading the LSU Tigers to the Elite Eight in both of her seasons at the university, culminating in a total of 31 wins each year.

Morrow’s outstanding performance has not gone unnoticed by professional leagues. On April 14, 2025, she was selected as the seventh overall pick in the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) draft by the Connecticut Sun. This selection marks a significant step in her professional career, following an impressive college tenure.

Other finalists for the Corbett Award included Leah Varisco, a multi-sport athlete from the Academy of Sacred Heart, My-Anh Holmes, a standout tennis player from Willow, and Luci Schroeder, a soccer player from Xavier. Each of these athletes showcased remarkable talent and dedication in their respective sports.

Morrow’s achievements reflect not only her individual talent but also the growing prominence of women’s sports in Louisiana. As she embarks on her professional career, Morrow serves as an inspiration to aspiring athletes across the region. Her journey illustrates the potential for success that can be achieved through hard work and dedication in sports.
