Women's Hoops Announces Signing of All-Southland First Team Honoree Key Roseby

ORLANDO - As portal season heats up, first-year UCF women’s basketball head coach Gabe Lazo and his staff have secured the signing of one the top-mid major transfers, announcing Stephen F. Austin’s Key Roseby to the 2026-27 roster.

A two-year standout with the Lumberjacks, Roseby averaged 13.1 points per game while leading the squad to their second-consecutive Southland Conference Tournament Championship, improving upon a strong freshman campaign the year prior.

The Frisco, Texas, native’s stellar sophomore slate garnered the future Knight All-Southland First Team honors. Starting in all 35 games during the 2025-26 season, Roseby solidified herself as a versatile threat, averaging the fifth most points in the conference while leading her team from beyond the arc.

Roseby downed an impressive 34.4 percent of her three-point attempts on a 56-163 clip. Her efficient nature also led to a steady 43.6 field goal percentage on nearly 400 shots. Roseby's 44/34/78 split with a team-leading volume made her one of the most enticing prospects in the portal this year.

Similar to Pitt transfer Makayla Johnson, the future Knight fits the themes that Lazo laid out during his introductory press conference: "contoling what we can control." Roseby averaged over 6.6 rebounds per game, totaling 232, during her sophomore season, which was paired with 20 blocks and nearly a steal per game.

Shifting into the starting lineup after averaging 25.6 minutes off the bench her freshman season, Roseby showed growth in every facet of the game.

In 2024-25, the two-time State Champion at Frisco Liberty High School, Roseby averaged 8.5 point and five rebounds per game. In her first-career game against Texas Southern, Roseby recorded a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds, an early sign of what was to come.
