Ex-Salem hoops star taking talent from CMU to Top 25 program
Madi Morson has officially transferred from Central Michigan University to Arizona State University.
Former Rock star Madison Morson is taking her immense basketball talent west beginning with the 2026-27 season after she sparkled for two seasons at Central Michigan University.
In April, Morson officially signed to transfer to Arizona State University, which has had a tremendous off-season in the transfer portal and is currently ranked in the Top 25 in a few way-too-early women’s basketball polls.
Accolades keep piling up
Morson, who led Salem to the MHSAA Division 1 semifinals in 2023, earned both the Mid-American Conference Player of the Year (2026) and Mid-American ConferenceFreshman of the year (2025) awards with CMU. She is the first player in program history to accomplish the feat.
She started 29 of 30 games in 2025-26 and led the team in points per game (20.1), 3-pointers (49) and free throws made (135), was second in 3-point field goal percentage (39.2), free throw percentage (83.3)and steals per game (1.3) and third in field goal percentage (45.3).
In a cool side note, Morson will be reunited in Tempe with former CMU teammate Ayanna-Sarai Darrington.
