Liberty’s Keyen Green transfers to Lady Vols.

KNOXVILLE — The Lady Vols basketball team has landed a top graduate transfer from the Atlantic Sun Conference.

Keyen Green. a 6-foot-1 forward from Liberty University, announced that she is joining coach Kellie Harper’s Tennessee program after a stellar season with the Flames last year.

Green earned first-team all-Atlantic Sun Conference honors last season as she led the Flames with 231 rebounds, including 120 offensive boards. She also led Liberty in blocked shots with 23 and shot 59 percent from the field after missing the 2018-19 season while recovering from ankle surgery.

She was injured in 2017 and missed two games before returning, but the injury would later require surgery.

In 2017-18, Green was the Big South Conference Player of the Year for the Flames, who shifted conferences the following season.

That year, she was 11th in the country in field goal percentage, knocking down 61 percent of her shots from the floor.

Green, a Philadelphia native, was also being recruited as a graduate transfer by Kentucky, Texas and Maryland.

Her commitment comes just days after Jazmine Massengill and Zaay Green each announced their decision to leave Tennessee.
