Kelsi Andrews: IMG Academy Star and South Carolina Commit Overcomes Adversity

February 6, 2026
Kelsi Andrews is a 6-foot-4 South Carolina commit who won a national title at IMG Academy after overcoming two ACL tears.

Two torn ACLs couldn't keep Kelsi Andrews off the court. A torn meniscus during her senior season couldn't either.

The 6-foot-4 forward helped IMG Academy win its first girls' basketball national championship at the Chipotle Nationals, posting a double-double with 12 points and 13 rebounds in the title game. She's a top-20 recruit who grew up in Mississippi as a coach's daughter, developing a relentless work ethic early.

Andrews is committed to South Carolina and has WNBA aspirations. The injuries have only strengthened her resolve.
