Signing five-star Deniya Prawl signifies return to title contention for Lady Vols

Tennessee women’s basketball coach Kim Caldwell has been tasked with returning the program to its former glory. Thanks to a 2025 signing class headlined by five-star prospect Deniya Prawl , Caldwell is off to an excellent start.

In just her first year on Rocky Top, Caldwell inked a top-two recruiting class with Prawl as the biggest name on the marquee. Prawl is the No. 6 player and the No. 3 small forward in the 2025 class , according to 247Sports.

Prawl is a native of Toronto, Ontario but transferred down to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. prior to her junior year. Since that move, Prawl has shown she can affect the game in a number of ways.

247Sports Director of Scouting for women’s basketball, Brandon Clay, says Prawl’s versatility is what really sets her apart from other players in the class.

“She is comfortable in a role where she is a primary scoring option or playing a more versatile role,” Clay said. “That was on full display as Prawl helped lead her Double Dynasty team to the championship of the inaugural Overtime Select league earlier in the fall. Few of Prawl’s peers possess that versatility.”
