In 2024-25, Jyah continued her collegiate career at Arizona State. She played in 31 games as a sophomore, recording averages of 8.9 points and 2.7 rebounds per game.
Back for another season at Arizona State, LoVett took the court in all 35 contests during the 2025-26 campaign. She contributed 4.9 points and 1.7 rebounds per game, totaled 47 assists and 45 steals, and reached her season-high of 16 points against Baylor.
Arizona State reached the 2026 NCAA Tournament First Four but lost 57-55 to Virginia on March 19, ending its tournament run.
Over three collegiate seasons, LoVett played in 83 games, with 17 appearances at San Jose State and 66 at Arizona State. Before transferring to Toledo, she accumulated 698 points, 182 rebounds, 164 assists and 114 steals.

Toledo head coach Ginny Boggess highlighted LoVett's ability to score at all three levels, create opportunities for teammates and make plays off the dribble.
She made her Rockets debut against Louisiana Tech on November 2, 2026, recording 11 points, six rebounds and three assists in 26 minutes. Toledo lost 61-57 in the season opener.
Her transition to Toledo also represents another step in a collegiate career that has included multiple programs, conference competition and individual achievements.
