The Tennessee Lady Vols have secured a major backcourt boost from the transfer portal, landing a commitment from Georgia guard Rylie Theuerkauf. The 5-foot-9 junior announced her decision to join the storied program, adding proven scoring and elite shooting to the roster.
Theuerkauf arrives in Knoxville after a standout season with the Bulldogs, where she was the team's third-leading scorer, averaging 11.9 points per game. Her most valuable asset, however, is her lethal efficiency from beyond the arc. She transformed into one of the SEC's most dangerous shooters last season, draining three-pointers at a blistering 40.6% clip on over five attempts per game—a massive leap from her sophomore year.
This move also marks a key reunion, as Theuerkauf will once again play for former Georgia assistant Isoken Uzamere, who is now on staff at Tennessee. She joins fellow transfer Zhen Craft in following Uzamere to Rocky Top, signaling a strategic effort to build immediate chemistry and familiarity. For a Lady Vols team looking to sharpen its perimeter attack, Theuerkauf represents a perfect fit—a veteran scorer ready to make an instant impact in the orange and white.
