Jordan Tuff is a guard from North Carolina who spent her freshman season at Cincinnati.
OXFORD, Ohio – Head Coach DeUnna Hendrix announced the addition of Jordan Tuff to the RedHawks' roster on Wednesday.
"I recruited Jordan the first time around so I feel fortunate to have things come back full circle," said Hendrix. "Jordan embodies all that we are at Miami. She's not only a talented scoring guard; she's a selfless competitor that knows how to win. It's fitting that her last name is Tuff because that's exactly what she is! We're excited to add her to the RedHawk family."
