The Tennessee Volunteers lost one of their players to the transfer portal on Wednesday, following some reports that indicated that he would like to be closer to home than he was being at Tennessee. The Vols lost their backup tight end, Jack Van Dorselaer, who is someone that many believed had a very bright future in the orange and white.

JVD is a guy who has quickly been noted as one of the better progressing players in size for the Vols and seen a good bit of action this year for the Vols. The talented prospect has now been predicted to land with a certain program. According to 247Sports, the talented prospect is expected to commit to the Oklahoma Sooners as one of their tight ends for this next season.

Nothing has been confirmed, but this is something to pay attention to.

Here is what he did in High School prior to his one and final season with the Vols, according to utsports.com.
