BIRMINGHAM – UAB women's basketball announced the signing Chattanooga transfer redshirt freshman guard Eleecia Carter on Thursday.
"Eleecia is a combo guard that is super explosive and can create shots for herself and her teammates," head coach Randy Norton said. "She brings a tenacity on defense and loves to stir things up by turning the opponents over to create extra opportunities on offense. She has a strong work ethic and love for the game. Eleecia will be an outstanding addition to our program and make an immediate impact as we continue to compete for championships on and off the court."
Carter redshirted her freshman season and helped her team achieve the 2024 SoCon regular season and SoCon Tournament titles after Chattanooga finished the 2024-25 season 28-5 overall and 13-1 in league play.
Prior to beginning her collegiate career, Carter attended Lake Highlands Preparatory Academy and helped lead her team to four consecutive state titles. She also helped her team become two-time UBHI Tournament Champions, National State Champions Invitational runner ups and made it to the Geico Nationals Final Four.
Carter played for AAU under Al Honor with the Central Florida Elite and were the Apache Memorial Showcase 17U Champions.
Individually, Carter was a McDonald's All-American nominee and named Orlando Sentinel All-Area Team Honorable Mention as a freshman. Carter was named Orlando Sentinel First Team her junior and senior year. Also in her junior season she recorded 1,000 points. Carter was selected to the State Champions Invitational All-Tournament Team. In 2022, Carter received Adidas All-American accolades and the USAB Gold Standard All-Star Award in 2019.
Carter joins Cali Smallwood and Rayne Tucker as the third portal signee for the 2024-25 season.
