What they are saying about Tianna Eaton:
 
"We are really excited to add Tianna to our 2020 signing class. She adds depth to our guard roster that includes successfully playing at the DI level out West. Her ability to score and rebound will impact our team immediately. What is most welcome about Tianna is her family. Not only are they supportive of her growing as a student-athlete, they are encouraged by the opportunities she will have at Texas State"
 
Coach Antoine, Texas State head coach
 
"Tianna Eaton exemplifies the true definition of a student-athlete. She has a strong work athletic and works exceptionally hard on and off the court. She is a fierce competitor. She is a dynamic guard with the ability to shoot from deep range, attack off the dribble and battle down low I the post.
 
Off the court, Tianna has the same competitive spirit when it comes to academics. If she is not in the gym perfecting her game, she is studying, reading or completing an assignment.
 
She is a great role model in the community, often lending out a helping hand to those in need."
 
Coach Seyram Bell, former UC Riverside head coach
