When you lead a team by a long shot in scoring and rebounding and finish third on the team in assists, you are clearly the most valuable player on that team. Rennia Davis was easily the best player on the Tennessee Lady Vols this year, and there was no doubt that she would be the player to earn the MVP trophy for the 2019-2020 season.

After the transfer of Evina Westbrook, pressure fell on Davis to take a lead role this year with the arrival of Kellie Harper. She exceeded expectations, averaging 18 points and over eight rebounds a game. Davis also averaged over two assists. She was extremely efficient, shooting 80 percent from the free throw line and 47 percent from the field.

Three-point shooting from Davis could improve, as she shot 29.6 percent from there. But that has room to grow as she enters her senior season in 2020-2021. As a junior, she proved herself as far and away the best player on the team, and while Rae Burrell developed as a wing player, there is no doubt that Davis is the top player at that position.

MVP runner-up: Jordan Horston

Freshman; Guard; 6’2″

There’s no debate about Davis being the MVP. But Jordan Horston edges out Burrell as the runner-up. Although Burrell averaged slightly more points, she and Horston are tied in rebounds, and Horston averaged way more assists and steals. She also had more blocks. Horston proved herself to be the future of the Tennessee Lady Vols, while Davis was the established star.
