April 24, 2026 | Women's Basketball
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 fifth-year player, she previously spent two seasons at the junior college level, earning NJCAA All-America honors at Gulf Coast State following the 2023-24 season.
"We're so excited to add Isi (pronounced ISS-ee) 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 a career-high 18 points with 12 rebounds against Iowa and grabbed a career-high 16 rebounds with seven points and three blocks against Washington. She redshirted the 2024-25 season while recovering from an injury.
Ozzy-Momodu began her collegiate career at Eastern Florida State College, where she was named All-Central Conference First Team as a freshman in 2022-23. She played in 30 games and averaged 10.6 points and 9.5 rebounds per game, finishing with 317 points and 285 rebounds. She recorded 14 double-doubles, led the Titans with 71 blocks and earned NJCAA Division I All-Tournament Team honors after averaging 15.6 points, 12.3 rebounds and 3.0 blocks across three tournament games.
She transferred to Gulf Coast State for the 2023-24 season and earned NJCAA Third Team All-America and Panhandle Conference Player of the Year honors. Ozzy-Momodu averaged 16.7 points and 11.6 rebounds per game while shooting 73.0% from the field across 23 games. She posted three games with at least 20 points and 20 rebounds, including a 25-point, 23-rebound performance against Shelton State, a 22-point, 26-rebound outing against South Georgia Tech and a 28-point, 20-rebound performance against Columbia State, when she shot 13-of-14 from the field.
As a prep standout, she starred at City of London Academy in South London, leading the program to seven national titles. She was named the Hoopsfix Pro-Am MVP in 2022.
Ozzy-Momodu is the daughter of Josephine Ozzy-Momodu and has two siblings, Bena, her twin, and Ire, who played collegiately at Eastern Michigan. She played trumpet and violin and is majoring in sociology.
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).
