Virginia Tech women's basketball has announced its first 2026 offseason transfer addition with the commitment of forward Alyssa Latham.

Her collegiate career has seen her start 47 games, contributing an average of 5.7 points and 4.8 assists per game over 20 minutes.
During her freshman season at Syracuse, Latham started all but six games, showcasing strong performance numbers.
