LEXINGTON — Former University of Tennessee women’s basketball player Jazmine Massengill has transferred to the University of Kentucky.
The Lady Vols’ guard left the school on March 3. She will remain in the Southeastern Conference but will need to acquire a waiver from the NCAA due to current transfer rules.
She will have two seasons of eligibility remaining.
In Lexington, she will rejoin former AAU teammate Rhyne Howard, who is the reining SEC Player of the Year. Both Massengill and Howard are from the Chattanooga Area. Howard played at Bradley Central, in Cleveland, while Massengill prepped at Hamilton Heights Christian Academy.
As a sophomore in Knoxville last season, Massengill appeared in all 31 of UT’s games and made 30 starts.
She averaged 6.5 points per game, 4.7 rebounds and 4.1 assists per contest last season.
The Lady Vols went 21-10 last season under first-year head coach Kellie Harper.
