BYU women’s basketball has made a significant addition to its roster with the signing of 6-foot-3 center Lara Rohkohl from the College of Charleston. The German native brings a strong defensive presence and rebounding prowess to the Cougars as they prepare for the upcoming season.
Rohkohl averaged 10.1 points and 9.2 rebounds per game last season, showcasing her ability to control the paint. Her defensive stats are equally impressive, with 1.9 blocks and 1.5 steals per game, highlighting her versatility on the court.
Head coach Lee Cummard expressed enthusiasm about Rohkohl’s commitment, stating, “She takes pride in dominating the paint. We are eager to get her with the team and working towards next season.”
Rohkohl’s addition comes at a crucial time for BYU, following the graduation of key players Emma Calvert and Kendra Gillispie. Her experience and skill set are expected to fill the void left in the frontcourt, providing the team with a reliable interior presence.
Before her tenure at Charleston, Rohkohl played at Central Connecticut, where she earned All-Northeast Conference rookie team honors. Her consistent performance across different programs underscores her adaptability and commitment to excellence.
As BYU transitions into a new era under Coach Cummard, Rohkohl’s experience and leadership will be invaluable. Her ability to impact both ends of the floor positions her as a key contributor for the Cougars in the competitive Big 12 Conference.
Fans can look forward to seeing Rohkohl in action as she dons the BYU jersey, bringing her tenacity and skill to the Marriott Cen
