Former Notre Dame OL Sam Pendleton commits to Tennessee

As expected when he entered the transfer portal with a non-contact tag, former Notre Dame offensive lineman Sam Pendleton has committed to Tennessee. His decision to come to Knoxville comes under a week after playing in the National Championship with the Fighting Irish.

Pendleton announced his decision via X on Friday morning.

What a great ride I’ve had over the last two years! As I step into this next chapter I am so grateful for the opportunities I’ve been given. I would like to thank Coach Heupel and his staff for being so welcoming.
