Tennessee basketball freshmen guards plan to transfer

[ASFN Admin]

Tennessee freshmen guards Mia Pauldo and Mya Pauldo announced their intentions to enter the NCAA transfer portal on Wednesday, according to Talia Goodman of On3.

The Pauldo twin sisters are the fifth and sixth Lady Vols players to enter the transfer portal, joining Lauren Hurst, Alyssa Latham, Deniya Prawl and Kaniya Boyd.

The Pauldo's transferring leaves Tennessee with two returning players from the 2025-26 roster. Talaysia Cooper and Jaida Civil have yet to announce their future plans. Cooper, a South Carolina transfer, is WNBA draft eligible, while Civil recently completed her freshman season.

Mia Pauldo was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team by the league's coaches. She averaged 10.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game, while averaging 23.3 minutes per contest. The freshman recorded a .356 field goal percentage and a .292 three-point shooting percentage. Mia Pauldo had a career-high 26 points against Mississippi State in Starkville. She missed three games in February due a concussion.

Mya Pauldo averaged 1.8 points and 1.6 rebounds per game. She appeared in 27 games and averaged 9.9 minutes per contest.
