Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes announced the signing of transfer Jordan Gainey on Tuesday.
Gainey committed to the Vols on April 18.
He transferred from USC Upstate with two years of eligibility remaining and is the son of Tennessee’s associate head coach Justin Gainey.
“We obviously know and love Jordan’s family, but his ability as a player stands on its own merit,” Barnes said in a press release. “He plays with a high basketball IQ and is a guy who makes his teammates better. We love his offensive versatility and his ability to shoot and score the ball in a variety of ways. In addition to giving us another shot-maker, he also competes on the defensive end and led (the Big South) in steals last year.”
