Vols emerge as top contender for Pac-12 All-Freshman guard

Tennessee basketball emerges as a top contender for Pac-12 All-Freshman guard.

Former Washington guard Keyon Menifield announced his top six schools on Sunday: Tennessee, Alabama, Louisville, Arkansas, Ohio State and Washington.

The 6-foot-1, 150-pound guard is from Flint, Michigan. He will have three years of eligibility remaining.

Menifield averaged 10 points, 3.1 assists, 2.9 rebounds per game and a 1.8 assist-turnover ratio. He was named to the Pac-12 All-Freshman team and was the only player to appear in all 32 games last season for the Huskies.

Before committing to Washington, Menifield was the leading scorer in the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League, averaging 22.6 points per game. He was named the Michigan Division 3 Player of the Year in 2021 at Beecher High School in Mt. Morris, Michigan.
