We’re just a few weeks out now from spring football, and the college football roster movement has mostly wrapped up. Another transfer portal period will open during the spring (April 15-30), but for the most part, programs have got what they’ve got looking ahead to the 2024 season.
Tennessee, along with just about the rest of the college football world, saw plenty of departures this season. The defensive side of the ball was hit the hardest, with several key players opting to hit the portal. Defensive end Tyler Baron, cornerback Doneiko Slaughter, STAR Tamarion McDonald and safety Wesley Walker were the most notable losses, along with the expiring eligibility of linebacker Aaron Beasley, cornerback Kamal Hadden, safety Jaylen McCollough and cornerback Gabe Jeudy-Lally
In fact, Tennessee is now looking at replacing their entire five-man secondary this fall.
