UT Arlington announced that Keshanti Gordon, a 5‑foot‑10 wing who spent the last two seasons at Murray State College, has officially committed to the Lady Mavericks for the 2026‑27 campaign.
Gordon arrives after a standout sophomore year in which she posted 10.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game while earning NJCAA Region 2 First Team honors and Academic All‑American recognition.
Her impact helped the Aggies capture two conference titles, highlighted by a 15‑1 record in league play and a 27‑6 overall mark during the 2025‑26 season, a run that also featured a district MVP award and first‑team all‑district selections at Paris High School.
The Paris, Texas native also contributed to the team’s success in the classroom, balancing athletic excellence with academic achievement, and she previously honed her skills with Next Step Athletes in club competition.
A versatile wing joins the program
Coach Shereka Wright expressed enthusiasm about adding a player who brings both versatility and a winning pedigree, noting that Gordon’s skill set should complement the existing core and strengthen the squad’s depth as they aim for another successful season.
Gordon’s recruitment underscores UT Arlington’s continued focus on building a competitive roster through strategic transfers, and the coaching staff believes her experience in high‑stakes conference play will translate well to the NCAA Division I environment.
Fans can look forward to seeing how the new addition meshes with returning players and how the Lady Mavericks will leverage her defensive versatility and scoring ability in the upcoming schedule.
