MEMPHIS, Tenn. – University of Memphis head women's golf coach Jennifer Jordan announced Wednesday the signing of Bradenton, Florida, natives Avery Banfill and Phoenix Scanlan to the 2027 roster.
"There's something special about having two players who share the same hometown choose to take the next step in their careers together at Memphis," Jordan said. "We're excited to watch them grow, compete and leave their mark on our program and we are thrilled to welcome them to our Tiger family."
Banfill comes to Memphis from Parrish Community High School, where she helped lead her squad to the 2025 Florida state championship. A member of Team Florida for the 2027 U.S. National Development Program, Banfill also captured the 2026 Florida Junior Tour Sun N' Lake Championship and advanced to the round of 16 at the 2026 Florida Women's Amateur.
