Former Chattanooga women's basketball player Jasmine Joyner wowed the crowds with her scoring and rebounding in her four seasons with the Mocs, but it was her shot blocking ability that really brought the fans to their feet.
 
She set school and conference records, holds the record for most blocked shots in the McKenzie Arena as well as Purcell Pavilion at Notre Dame. Upon graduation, she had an eye-popping 436 career blocks and ranked eight all-time in the NCAA. At just 6-2, that's a phenomenal feat.
 
During her time with the Mocs she was named the Southern Conference Defensive Player of the Year twice, all-conference three times and selected to the SoCon All-Tournament Team three times. She helped the Mocs to four of five consecutive league regular season and tournament titles and finished with more than 1,300 career points.
 
After her collegiate career wound down, she found herself headed overseas to continue flouting her talents in front of a new crowd of fans as a professional. She aligned herself with former teammate Chelsey Shumpert and the two are starring for the Nottingham Wildcats as they look to make their way back to the top of the Women's British Basketball League.
 
Her second season was cut short this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Through 47 games in two years, she has continued to pile on the statistics and awards.
 
In her first season she was named to the 2019 WBBL Defensive Team of the Year and this season was the first selection to the Tubpodcast 2020 Team of the Year. She was a six-time Player of the Week in the league and named Molten Player of the Month.
 
In an interview with @Tubpodcast last month, Joyner talks about her favorite part of basketball – blocking.
 
"That's my favorite thing to do: block shots," she said. "When I started playing basketball, my dad and I just really focused on free-throws and blocking shots. I used to block shots first and everything else came behind it."
 
She led the league in rebounds and blocked shots in her two seasons in the WBBL, a dominating force in the paint.
 
The long, lanky center with a seven-foot wingspan, plans to continue her career overseas once competition returns. She continues each day to work on her game and work on herself outside of basketball so she will be ready for whatever comes next.
