Tennessee officially announces the signing of Missouri State grad transfer Jasmine Franklin (6-1 SR forward, Fayetteville, AR).
Tennessee women’s basketball head coach Kellie Harper confirmed that she has received an SEC Grant-in-Aid (GIA) and Institutional Financial Aid Agreement (IFAA) from decorated graduate transfer Jasmine Franklin from Missouri State University.
Franklin, an explosive 6-foot-1 forward from Fayetteville, Ark., signed with Harper out of high school when Harper and husband Jon were coaching at MSU. Franklin was a freshman contributor for the Bears’ 2019 NCAA Sweet 16 run that ultimately led to the Harpers being hired at Rocky Top.
“I’m so excited to bring Jasmine Franklin into the Lady Vol family,” Harper said. “Jasmine, who has a fun-loving but very competitive personality, can score in the paint, knock down an open jumper and put the ball on the floor for drives. Her athleticism and high motor enable her to be a tremendous rebounder and defender.”
A two-time All-Missouri Valley Conference First-Team selection and the 2021 MVC Defensive Player of the Year, Franklin averaged 11.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.8 steals, 1.3 blocks and 1.1 assists while starting 99 of 102 games for Missouri State. The seven-time MVC Player of the Week shot 53.1 percentage from the field and 68.0 percent from the free-throw line during her time in Springfield and produced 1,122 points and 913 rebounds.
In 2021-22, Franklin led Missouri State at 14.0 points and 12.1 rebounds per game while shooting 53.8 percent from the field and 76 percent on free throws. Against five Power 5 opponents, including LSU, Virginia Tech, USC, Missouri and Oklahoma State, she put up 15.6 ppg., 14.0 rpg., 2.4 spg. and 1.6 bpg. and shot 49.2 percent from the field and 80 percent from the free-throw line. She only played in 11 contests, however, before suffering a season-ending knee injury on Dec. 21. Still, she ended her abbreviated year with seven double-doubles and nine games with double-figure rebound totals.
