KNOXVILLE — The Lady Vols basketball team and coach Kellie Harper picked up an international commitment on Thursday when Marta Suarez Rodriguez announced her intention to come to Knoxville to play for Tennessee.
Suarez Rodriguez, a guard and forward, can run the point and play either wing position. She is 6-foot-2 and can also play power forward.
Suarez Rodriguez hails from Spain and is in the 2020 graduating class.
She is eligible to play upon coming to Big Orange Country and will have four years of college eligibility.
The Tennessee commit chose the Lady Vols over Duke, Washington State, UCLA and others.
She will likely fill a need for Harper and Tennessee, which went 21-10 last season.
