LSU junior guard Mikaylah Williams, a former Parkway star, had been named first-team All-SEC. 

LSU senior guard Flau’jae Johnson and was also named to the first team. Junior guard MiLaysia Fulwiley was named Sixth Woman of the Year.

Freshman guard ZaKiyah Johnson was named to the second team. 

Williams is averaging 13.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.7 assists during the regular season.

She is no stranger to clutch shots in her college career, and her impact on this year’s LSU team has been no different. Most notably, Williams drained a clutch three-pointer with one second on the shot clock and 1:20 left on the game clock against No. 2 Texas to ice the victory away for LSU. 

Williams has scored in double figures over the last nine of 10 games since the Florida matchup.

She has done so in 23 of 30 games played. Most recently, Williams tied her season high 26 points and had a career high 15 rebounds with four assists and one steal against Mississippi State. 

The 26-point performance marked her second straight game with 20-plus points and her fifth this season. 

Williams is the first Tiger to have three straight double-doubles since Aneesah Morrow recorded three straight from March 22-28 in the 2025 postseason against San Diego State, Florida State and NC State.

Williams and Johnson were named to the first team for the second straight season.

Flau’jae Johnson is averaging 13.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game. She has been one of the vocal leaders for the sixth-ranked Tiger squad, helping LSU to 26 victories heading into the postseason, including a stretch of seven straight SEC wins that featured a 70-65 win over No. 2 Texas at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center on January 11. Johnson has scored in double figures for 23 contests out of 30 games played. 

Fulwiley, who hails from Columbia, S.C., has continuously provided LSU with electric playmaking since arriving in Baton Rouge in the offseason. Through 30 regular season games, Fulwiley is averaging 14.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 3.1 steals per contest. Fulwiley leads the team in blocks with 41, leading the SEC for players under 6-0.

She has contributed to the Tigers’ top offense, while being very active around the ball on defense, leading the team in steals with 93. Her 93 steals ranks second in the SEC and 13th nationally. With 93 steals, Fulwiley ranks third among LSU players for steals recorded in a single season. Raigyne Moncrief Louis leads the way with 107 steals during the 2016-17 season.

ZaKiyah Johnson, a native of Shelbyville, Ky., is one of the most decorated athletes in the history of Kentucky high school sports. At LSU, she has been one of the most versatile pieces in Coach Kim Mulkey’s arsenal. While being recruited as a perimeter player, Mulkey has used ZaKiyah in the post to get her on the floor. 

She has averaged 10.2 points and 5.8 rebounds per game and has started for the Tigers 18 times. ZaKiyah has scored in double figures in 18 outings with 30 games played. ZaKiyah is the ninth LSU player to be named to the All-SEC Freshman team.
