The Chicago native will officially make her debut into professional basketball with the Gladiators after an impressive college career spanning three programs. Prior to this, MJ was a highly-rated recruit coming out of high school and was ranked among the nation’s top forwards.

Her college career began at Texas A&M, before a season at Ball State where she contributed to their 2025 MAC Regular Season and Tournament title double, for just the second time in the program’s history, along with a trip to the NCAA Tournament.

She followed this with a graduate year at George Mason, where head coach Vanessa Blair-Lewis praised her as “a dynamic post player who can stretch the floor with her jumper, finish around the rim with both hands, and anchor our defense with her shot-altering ability”, also highlighting her team-first mentality as a quality that that would make her an immediate difference-maker to any squad.
