Braedan Lue transferred to Tennessee from Kennesaw State on April 24. The 6-foot-9, 235-pound forward played two seasons for the Owls from 2024-26.
Lue appeared in 68 contests, including 66 starts. He averaged 10.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, one assist and 25.9 minutes per game.
Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes discussed the Vols’ latest basketball signee.
“We are pleased to welcome Braedan and his family to our basketball program,” Barnes said. “He is a superb young man with excellent character, which makes him an outstanding fit for our program. Braedan is a fast and twitchy player who possesses big-time athleticism, a sturdy frame and an elite wingspan.
“He is a proven winner, a great teammate and an impactful defender who is willing to play any role to help his team. Braedan is excited for the chance to compete at the highest level and he looks forward to working with Garrett Medenwald.”
Lue’s career high for points scored in a game at Kennesaw State was 23, as a sophomore, against Middle Tennessee State on Feb. 12.
