LOGAN, Utah – Utah State head women's basketball coach
Kayla Ard announced the signing of Prima Chellis, a forward transferring from SIU Edwardsville.
"We are excited to have Prima joining the Aggie family," Ard said. "We love her aggressiveness, especially in the paint. She plays with a chip on her shoulder and just wants to win, which is great for our team and culture."
Chellis joins the Aggies after spending the last two seasons at SIU Edwardsville, where she appeared in 55 career games, averaging 5.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game. She scored in double figures seven times in her SIUE career, including a career-best 17 points at Arkansas State on Dec. 22, 2021.
Chellis began her collegiate career playing two years at South Mountain Community College, where she earned National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Division II Third Team All-American honors as a sophomore in 2019-20. She led the Cougars with 20.9 points and 9.6 rebounds per game as a sophomore and was a first team all-Region 1 selection and Arizona Community College Athletic all-conference honoree.
