Khaalia Hillsman (born August 1, 1996) is an American professional basketball player who is a free agent. She played college basketball at Texas A&M. Hillsman is the daughter of former NBA player Benoit Benjamin .
Hillsman came out of high school as the 47th overall rated recruit per ESPN HoopGurlz's rankings.[1] Hillsman committed to play for the Texas A&M Aggies, citing that she chose the Aggies because "I love the atmosphere, the team, the coaches, and the campus... also thought it would be a good fit with all the success assistant coach Bob Starkey has had with his post players."[2]
During her four years at A&M, Hillsman finished in the Top 10 all-time in scoring and rebounds. She was named to the All-SEC Second Team twice - 2017 and 2018 - and helped lead the Aggies to the Sweet 16 in 2018.[3] [4] [5]
