Texas A&M officially announces the signing of Georgia transfer Tineya Hylton (5-7 FR point guard, Toronto, ON).
Texas A&M women’s basketball head coach Joni Taylor announced the signing of Georgia transfer and former player Tineya Hylton on Tuesday.
Hylton comes to Aggieland after spending her first semester at UGA this past spring. Originally, the Toronto native was a member of the 2021 signing class, but due to COVID-19, she reclassified and signed her National Letter of Intent in November of 2021 as part of the 2022 signing class. She gained eligibility at the beginning of the 2022 spring semester when she joined the Lady Bulldog roster.
“Tineya [Hylton] is a shifty guard that has the natural ability to create for herself and others,” Taylor said. “She will make an impact on both ends of the floor. I am excited to see her growth and influence that she will have on our program.”
In her lone semester in Athens, Hylton appeared in eight games off the bench. The 5-foot-7 guard logged a career-high 10 minutes against No. 13 LSU on Feb. 10, scoring nine points with two 3-pointers. Against Arkansas (Feb. 24), Hylton found herself in the ballgame in the waning moments and secured a defensive stop to clinch a one-point victory, 63-62.
Hylton prepped at Hamilton Heights Christian Academy in Chattanooga, Tennessee, before going back to Canada to play at Royal Crown Academic School in Toronto. At Hamilton Heights Christian Academy, she helped her team put together a 25-1 record en route to the 2020 National Association of Christian Athletes Championship. She played on the Become One AAU team and earned MVP honors at the 2021 Ballin Across Borders Games. She was a junior All-American and was a John Lucas 160 Camp invitee.
Hylton becomes the first signee of the Taylor era in Aggieland after Taylor was hired on March 23.

Stanford grad transfer Jenna Brown (5-10 RS JR guard, Atlanta, GA) lands at Notre Dame.
Jenna Brown – a 2021 NCAA Champion, two-time Pac-12 champion and three-time Pac-12 Tournament champion – will be donning an Irish uniform for the 2022-23 season. A 5-10 guard from Atlanta, Georgia, Brown brings a valued skillset and high IQ to South Bend, continuing the recent Notre Dame – Stanford pipeline trend that dates back to Lilli Thompson in the 2017-18 season.
“I am so excited to welcome Jenna Brown to our Notre Dame family,” Karen & Kevin Keyes Family Head Coach Niele Ivey said. “She is an exceptional student and is someone who will positively impact this university and our program. Jenna brings a strong work ethic and motor along with an incredible skill set and high IQ. She is a perfect addition to our strong core and I’m looking forward to working with her and mentoring her.”
Brown saw limited time on the court over her first two seasons where she shot 35.1 percent from the field. She averaged 2.0 points and 1.0 assists in just 7.4 minutes as a sophomore; however, the injury bug struck that year, as she missed the last seven games of the season.
Injuries then continued to plague Brown as she took a medical redshirt (knee surgery) for her junior year (2020-21), and in her redshirt junior year (2021-22) she did not see any game action as she was still not fully recovered.
Brown will be graduating from Stanford with a degree in Political Science.
