SAN DIEGO – Head coach Stacie Terry-Hutson has announced the addition of Kennedy Lee, a 6’0” forward who is transferring from The Mesa from Nevada. Lee averaged 11.7 points and 5.8 rebounds per game last year.
“We are thrilled to welcome Kennedy into the program,” Terry-Hutson said. “She’s an undersized post, who can stretch the floor and score at all three levels. An excellent defender on the low block, she will bring toughness to our post group.”
A native of Louisville, Kent., Lee totaled 57 games and 21 starts across 2.5 seasons at Nevada. This past season she was on her way to a breakout year, scoring double-digits in six of her nine games before being sidelined with an injury.
In nine games in 2024-25, she was shooting 51 percent from the floor, 45 percent from three and 75 percent from the line across 25 minutes per game before her season was cut short due to injury.
As a sophomore, she appeared in all 32 games for the Wolf Pack and made 14 starts, averaging 6.8 points and 5.7 rebounds while shooting 44 percent from the field in 22 minutes per game. She finished in the top 10 in the Mountain West in offensive rebounding and in the top 15 in total rebounding. Against Colorado State, she had a game with 17 rebounds, which was the most by a Nevada player in four years.
Lee averaged 5.0 points and 2.8 rebounds in 27 games in her freshman campaign while shooting an impressive 84 percent from the free throw line.
Lee moved to Las Vegas for senior year of high school and attended Centennial High School, who she helped go 18-4 and win the NIAA 5A State title. Prior to that, she attended DuPont Manual High School in Louisville where she also played softball.
Lee is the first signing for the Aztecs out of the transfer portal. SDSU lost their top three post players from the 2024-25 season to graduation.
The Aztecs are coming off a 25-win season, the third most in school history, where they won the Mountain West tournament and advanced to the NCAA tournament.
