Tennessee received a SEC Grant-in-Aid and Institutional Financial Aid Agreement from South Carolina guard transfer Talaysia Cooper.
Cooper played at South Carolina as a freshman during the 2022-23 season.
Cooper transferred outside the NCAA transfer portal window. She will enroll at Tennessee for the fall semester and will not play during the 2023-24 season.
“We are thrilled to welcome Talaysia to our Lady Vol family,” Tennessee head coach Kellie Harper said in a press release. “We recruited her heavily when she was in high school and are very familiar with the quality of person and player we are getting. We look forward to Talaysia blending with our current team, learning the system, working hard and preparing herself to become an active contributor as a redshirt sophomore in 2024-25.”
Cooper appeared in 24 contests at South Carolina, averaging 2.9 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 8.4 minutes per game.
