Ole Miss has been an active player in the transfer portal, and Tennessee is feeling that impact. They landed former Tennessee defensive lineman Tyler Baron on Friday, and shortly after, former Tennessee defensive back Tamarion Mcdonald announced he would be joining his former teammate in Oxford, Mississippi. 

He visited them over the past week, and Lane Kiffin's program built a lot of momentum with the talented defensive back.

The offseason is almost underway for Tennessee football. The Vols have concluded the regular season and are now focusing on roster construction for the 2023 season. Volunteer Country has fans covered with all the latest portal entries and NFL Draft declarations. The portal window is from December 4 until January 2. If players don't transfer within that window, they must wait until May following spring practice to enter the transfer portal.
