Mississippi State’s Madison Francis (@mattie.__.06) has quickly put herself on the radar as one of the more impactful freshmen forwards in the SEC. The 6’2” freshman has opened the season averaging 13.0 points and 7.5 rebounds while shooting 46.4% from the field, showing efficiency, physicality, and a comfort level playing through contact. Francis continues to provide Mississippi State with steady production in the frontcourt, impacting the game on both ends with her motor, rebounding presence, and ability to finish plays. For a freshman to step in and deliver consistent two-way value at the forward spot, it says a lot about her readiness and ceiling. Mississippi State found a good one.
