Ruby Whitehorn Joins Arizona State, Will Sit Out Until 2026–27

Coach Molly Miller frames the addition as a development opportunity following Whitehorn’s dismissal from Tennessee last fall.

Ruby Whitehorn #2 of the Tennessee Lady Vols looks to pass during the second half against the Iowa Hawkeyes in the Shark Beauty Women's Champions Classic at Barclays Center on December 07, 2024 in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. The Lady Vols won 78-68.

Overview

  • Whitehorn announced on Instagram that she has joined Arizona State and has begun practicing with the Sun Devils.
  • She is ineligible to compete this season and is slated to use her final year of collegiate eligibility in 2026–27.
  • The guard attended ASU’s Feb. 21 home win after posting practice photos from Tempe on social media.
  • Tennessee dismissed her on Nov. 2 after an October simple possession arrest, which followed an Aug. 8 arrest; she had earlier pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors in exchange for judicial diversion and was briefly reinstated.
  • A former five-star recruit and McDonald’s All-American, she averaged 11.6 points and 4.1 rebounds for Tennessee in 2024–25, while ASU under first-year coach Molly Miller has surged to 21–7 and will seek guard depth next season with six senior guards on the roster.
