The Tennessee Lady Vols have finally had some positive news on the transfer site. After hosting one of the top transfer portal candidates, the Lady Vols have made their first transfer portal acquisition, landing someone who is projected to be a day-one starter in orange and white.
Who the Lady Vols Landed
The Lady Vols have signed Liberty Flames transfer Avery Mills, who will be a junior in college this year. In 2025-2026, she concluded the season with 15. 3 points, 4. 0 rebounds, and 2. 2 assists. She is also a superb three-point shooter, with a shooting rate of just under 50%. She was one of the better players in college basketball, and she would be far more well-known if she were doing so at an SEC institution, which she will now have the opportunity to do.
