The Arizona State women's basketball team has added former Tennessee guard Ruby Whitehorn as a transfer for the upcoming 2026-27 season. Whitehorn, who was dismissed from Tennessee prior to this season due to legal issues, will look to make an immediate impact for the Sun Devils as they aim to reach the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2018-19.
Why it matters
The addition of Whitehorn is a key move for Arizona State as they look to build on their successful 2025-26 season under first-year head coach Molly Miller. Whitehorn brings scoring punch, rebounding ability, and defensive intensity that should help fill the void left by the departures of guards Marley Washenitz, Last-Tear Poa, and Gabby Elliott.
The details
Whitehorn has already transferred to Arizona State as a student and is currently practicing with the team. The 6'0" guard has scored over 1,100 points in her three-year college career, while also averaging 4.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game. She was previously an All-ACC Freshman Team selection at Clemson before transferring to Tennessee.
- Whitehorn has already transferred to Arizona State as a student and is now practicing with the team.
