Newcomer of the year

Jordan Horston

Freshman; Guard; 6’2″

There is plenty of room for improvement in Jordan Horston’s game, but when it comes to her abilities, they are second to none. Horston was another player, similar to Jazmine Massengill, who had to take on a much greater role than she expected to as a true freshman after Zaay Green’s season-ending injury two games into the season.

Midway through, Horston became arguably the second biggest producer for the Tennessee Lady Vols. She averaged 10 points a game and was tied for second on the team with five and a half rebounds a game while leading the team in assists with just under five a game. And this was all as a true freshman who was not supposed to be the main distributor.

Now, Horston has some room for improvement in the offseason, particularly in turnovers, where she also averaged over four a game. But her athleticism, vision and ability to score are amazing. If she ups her shooting efficiency, she could become one of the top players in the nation next year. Yes, we’re talking potential All-American status.

Newcomer runner-up: Tamari Key

Freshman; Center; 6’5″

Although she has a ton of work to do in many areas, Tamari Key established herself as the future center for the Lady Vols this year. She only played 18 minutes a game but averaged nearly seven and a half points and over four and a half rebounds. So as she develops, she will become an unstoppable force in the paint.
