Tennessee had a mass exodus in the secondary when the transfer portal opened. One contributor who entered the portal was defensive back Wesley Walker , an impact player for the Vols in 2022 and 2023. Walker totaled 56 tackles, six pass deflections, two sacks, a forced fumble, and an interception during his two seasons in Knoxville, Tennessee.
He announced his new transfer destination on Monday morning. Walker will play his college football for the Louisville Cardinals next season, returning to the ACC after spending the first three years of his college career with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets before transferring to Tennessee.
The offseason is underway for Tennessee football. The Vols have concluded the 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.
