POSTED: April 24, 2020 -- 8:47 a.m. CT
Thursday, Texas A&M women's basketball and head coach Gary Blair announced the signing of transfer Zarielle "Zay" Green. Green spent the last two season with the Tennessee Lady Volunteers.
Green, 6'0" guard, was named to the 2019 SEC All-Freshman Team in her inaugural season. Green averaged 10.3 points per game and 4.8 rebounds per game in SEC play, starting 24 games as a freshman. She earned SEC Freshman of the Week twice, and scored double digits on 14 different occasions.
The SEC All-Freshman honoree scored a career-high 25 points, going 12 of 16 from the field with seven rebounds against Auburn (Feb. 14, 2019). Among SEC freshmen in 2019, Green ranked second in scoring and rebounding, third in assists and steals and sixth in blocks.
Green's sophomore campaign was cut short due to a knee injury, having started the first two games of the year. She was averaging 13.0 points per game and 4.5 rebounds per game before her injury.
The Duncanville, Texas, native is a two-time 6A state champion (2016, 2017) at Duncanville High School. Green and Aggie senior Ciera Johnson, helped lead the 2015-16 Pantherette squad to a perfect 39-0 record, and a National Championship. Green scored 25 points in both state championships, and was named the MVP of both title games.
Head Coach Gary Blair: "Zay [Green] is a young lady that we have known since she was in the seventh grade. We lost her to Tennessee the first time around, but she is coming back home to the state of Texas to be an Aggie. She is a skilled offensive player with tremendous athletic ability. She is a position less and impact player that we are eager to incorporate into our program.
"Zay had a storied career at Duncanville High School, and won a state championship in 2016 with current Aggie, Ciera Johnson. She also had an outstanding freshman year at Tennessee, where she was an SEC All-Freshman performer. Her competitive spirit will help the program continue to win at a championship level."
