Noteworthy: Tall and versatile for a guard, Ozment was pursued heavily by colleges before deciding on Michigan State. She has bounced back from a knee injury early in her high school career to become a steady leader for the Wolves, who are coming off a state championship run. Ozment averaged 14.3 points, 4 assists and 3.5 steals as a junior.

Coach Gene Durden’s take: “It has been such a blessing and pleasure to be able to coach Tory over the past four years. She is a great basketball player, but her qualities as a person are what make her so special. I have had the opportunity to watch her grow as a player from a fifth-grader to a senior and put all of her hard work into action to become the great player she is today. I always say that the difference between a good and great player is the ability to make others around them better and Tory is a shining example of this quality. I think she is the total package of a player that also knows how to play the game. I told Michigan State that she is one of the few players I have coached in my career that is a can’t-miss player. They will be getting something special.”
