The Tennessee Volunteers have been hosting players at many positions, including one position they need badly. They are looking to add a running back to the equation following the transfer departure of Peyton Lewis and the NFL Draft departure of Star Thomas.

They have a new target set to visit them on what looks to be Thursday or Friday, which is Makhi Frazier. Frazier is one of the top players in the country at the position and is set to be eligible for multiple seasons. Frazier is a transfer from Michigan State, who is viewed as arguably the best remaining running back.

Here is what he did in 2025, according to Michigan State's website.
