Development Mentor

Emily Howard

Ole Miss · NCAA Division I

A Vancouver pathway through Liberty, Boise State and Ole Miss. A post player’s perspective on development and the women’s college game.

Emily Howard is a center from Vancouver whose pathway runs through Harding Academy in Memphis and NCAA Division I basketball. At Harding, she earned three first-team all-district selections before joining Liberty in 2021.

Her Liberty chapter included a 17-point, five-rebound and four-block performance against Christopher Newport in November 2024. She went on to Boise State for 2025–26 before joining Ole Miss for the 2026–27 season.

That journey gives Emily firsthand experience of preparing for college basketball, adapting to new programs and developing as a post player. Her background spans the Canadian-to-US pathway and several Division I environments.

At Axis, Emily brings that perspective to post play, finishing around the basket and the women’s college transition. She helps young players give their development direction and think through their next step.
