KNOXVILLE — The University of Tennessee women’s basketball team will likely have to move forward without one of its top players, as sophomore guard Jazmine Massengill has entered the NCAA transfer portal.
Massegill appeared in all 31 of the Lady Vols’ games in 2019-20 and she started 30 games for Tennessee, which went 21-10 under the guidance of first-year head coach Kellie Harper.
She averaged 6.5 points per game this season, which was cut short due the coronavirus pandemic.
This season, she scored a career-high 16 points against Colorado State. She had her best career rebounding effort against Notre Dame, grabbing 13 boards. Massengill recorded a career-high 12 assists against Missouri in the Lady Vols’ Southeastern Conference opener on Jan. 2.
Massengill, a five-star recruit out of Hamilton Heights Christian Academy, was Tennessee’s first recruit from Chattanooga. She was also a McDonald’s All-American.
