Former Tennessee defensive tackle Amari McNeill wants part of the stampede in Boulder, announcing he would be transferring to the Colorado Buffaloes on Thursday.
McNeil is a physical lineman who didn’t quite fit into the Vols rotation, according to SEC Insider Trey Wallace. McNeill, a 6-foot-4, 285-pounder from Suwanne, GA, was a three-star recruit coming out of Peachtree Ridge HS in 2021. He recorded three tackles and a pass deflection in four games while at Knoxville. His big frame will allow him to play inside and outside, though he is expected to feature on the interior of the defensive line for CU.
