Overview
- Tennessee announced the dismissal on Sunday, ending Whitehorn’s tenure after two arrests within three months.
- Campus police cited Whitehorn at 4:31 a.m. on Oct. 30 for misdemeanor simple possession, saying 5.59 grams of marijuana were confiscated hours after she scored 18 in an exhibition.
- She had been suspended in August, then reinstated after a Sept. 5 plea to two misdemeanors under judicial diversion stemming from an incident initially charged as domestic assault and aggravated burglary.
- Whitehorn has been removed from the online roster as the No. 8 Lady Vols begin the season with 13 players and open Tuesday against No. 9 NC State in Greensboro.
- In a social‑media post, Whitehorn apologized and said she will focus on her mental health, and reports indicate she may have one season of eligibility remaining if she joins another program.
