MACON, Ga. – Head coach Michelle Clark-Heard added three newcomers to the Mercer Women's Basketball roster for the 2027-28 campaign on Wednesday morning as Florida native Erynn Moffett, Texan Carley Reyes, and Virginia native Trinity Jefferson announced their intentions to continue their academic and athletic careers at Mercer.
 Â
Jefferson, a 5-5 guard out of Roanoke, Va., is a multi-sport athlete at Cresset Christian Academy where she plays soccer alongside basketball. The Virginia native averaged 13.2 points in her junior season under coach Lyn Adams while averaging 19 points across her freshman and sophomore campaigns. Jefferson helped lead the team to a 28-8 overall record while scoring close to 25% of the team's total points in 2025-26.Â
The daughter of Marques Wilson and Tia Jefferson has seven older siblings, including three brothers, Corey, Marques, and Disaiah, and four sisters, Kaiya, Diamond, Mariah, and Armoni. Jefferson holds a 3.9 GPA at Cresset Christian and has made the honor roll each year while being a member of the National Honor Society.
"Trinity is an explosive point guard that comes from a winning tradition. She has great court vision and loves to create for her teammates as well as score the ball at a high level. I have had the pleasure of watching Trinity ever since I arrived at Mercer and realized very quickly we wanted her to be a Bear. Bear Nation, welcome Trinity to our family."
Reyes, a 5-4 guard from San Antonio, Texas, earned First-Team All-District, First-Team All-Academic, and multiple tournament awards in her 2025-26 junior campaign under coach Kelli Goble to lead Sonia Sotomayor High School to a playoff berth. The Texas native averaged 8.8 points, 7.0 assists, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.7 steals across 35 games as a junior while limiting herself to just 0.9 turnovers per game.Â
The daughter of Rebecca and George Reyes has two younger sisters, Addysen and Zoe, and is a member of the National Honor Society. Reyes is an AP Scholar, has made honor roll in each year, and ranks in the top 4% of her class.
"Carley is another dynamic guard that brings quickness and versatility to our team. Carley is crafty and can shoot the 3 at a high level. She is another player that will bring a winning mentality to our program as we continue to build towards winning championships."
Moffett, a 5-11 guard out of Melbourne, Fla., had a phenomenal junior campaign for West Shore High School under coach Rob Luther, averaging 20.5 points, shooting 51% from the field, 7.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 5.1 steals, pacing her team in each of those stats. The Florida native earned All-Cape Coast Conference Team honors in each of the past three seasons, including a 2024 Cape Coast Conference All-Tournament Team selection. She played a big part in her team's success at Palm Bay High School in her sophomore season, as she led her team to a 2025 FHSAA Class 4A State Championship. A multi-sport athlete at West Shore, she is also a standout in volleyball.
The daughter of Evelyn and Geneath Moffett currently holds a 3.7 GPA and has three siblings, a younger brother, Gavyn, and two younger sisters, Eva and Gabi. She is expecting to major in business at Mercer.
"Erynn is another great addition to our signing class. She is a big, versatile guard that can play both sides of the ball. She is a very good defender and rebounder but also can score the basketball."
All three new signees will arrive in Macon in time for the 2027-28 campaign.
"We can't wait to welcome all three of these young ladies to our family."
