Rylie Theuerkauf transferred to Tennessee from Georgia following the 2025-26 basketball season.
The 5-foot-9 senior guard represented the Lady Vols at SEC basketball media day on Tuesday at Hotel Wildemont in Birmingham, Alabama.
“Tennessee had a lot of reasons why I wanted to play here," Theuerkauf said. "I mean, ever since a little kid, a little girl, that's where you dream of playing at is Tennessee. All the history and everything with Pat Summitt.
"Then just when I really got to meet Kim (Caldwell) and come on the visit, I fell in love with her and her ideals and her program. Yeah, it's been history ever since."
