Another former Tennessee Volunteer has found a new home via the transfer portal. Walker Merrill, a former four-star prospect out of Brentwood, Tennessee, signed with Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons officially announced the move on Thursday.
Merrill entered the portal on January 4th, following Tennessee’s win in the Orange Bowl. Josh Heupel rolled with his top three for much of the year at receiver, leaning almost exclusively on Bru McCoy, Cedric Tillman and Jalin Hyatt. When Tillman went down, it was Ramel Keyton filling in. Squirrel White cracked the lineup late in the year, which left Merrill playing only during mop-up duty.
