NORMAN – University of Oklahoma head women's basketball coach
Jennie Baranczyk announced the signing of 6-3 center Isimenme "Isi" Ozzy-Momodu (pronounced IH-SEE-men-may Ozzie MOM-oh-du) on Friday.
A native of London, England, Ozzy-Momodu joins the Sooners after one season at Maryland, where she appeared in 31 games with 21 starts. A rising redshirt senior, she previously spent two seasons at Gulf Coast State where she earned National Junior College Athletic Association All-America honors.
"We're so excited to add Isi (pronounced Izzy) to our Oklahoma women's basketball family," Baranczyk said. "She brings valuable experience at multiple levels and knows what it takes to win. She's a tenacious rebounder who will elevate our team on both ends of the floor. Sooner Nation is going to love how hard she plays and the impact she makes."
At Maryland last season, Ozzy-Momodu averaged 8.0 points on 57.4% shooting, along with 6.4 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game. She scored in double figures 13 times and recorded four double-doubles, including a 12-point, 15-rebound performance against Indiana and a 10-point, 12-rebound outing against Rutgers. She also totaled 18 points and 12 rebounds against Iowa. She redshirted the 2024-25 season while recovering from a lower-leg injury.
At Gulf Coast State, Ozzy-Momodu averaged 16.7 points on 73% shooting and 11.6 rebounds across 23 games during the 2023-24 season, earning NJCAA Third Team All-America honors.
As a prep standout, she led City of London Academy to seven national titles and was named the Hoopsfix Pro-Am MVP in 2022.
Ozzy-Momodu is the daughter of Josephine Ozzy-Momodu and has two sisters, Bena, her twin, and Ire, who played collegiately at Eastern Michigan.
She is the third addition to Oklahoma's transfer portal class, joining Keeley Parks (Kansas) and Jordan Speiser (Kansas State). The group joins a program coming off back-to-back Sweet 16 appearances under Baranczyk.
Ozzy-Momodu is slated to be one of four European players on the 2026-27 roster, joining
Daffa Cissoko (France),
Emma Tolan (Ireland) and incoming freshman Sina Höllerl (Austria).
Fans can place a $25 deposit for 2026-27 season tickets now. Additional information will be announced at a later date.
