Steve Angeli has officially entered the transfer portal. Is he a fit in Knoxville?

The Tennessee Volunteers have been targeting the QB position in the transfer portal after news broke that Nico Iamaleava and the Vols would be going their own way.

While many rumors have started to circulate, there hasn't been many options in the portal for the Vols. On Thursday, Notre Dame Fighting Irish QB Steve Angeli entered the portal. Angeli is a talented QB who is 21 years old and has two years of playing experience, including 2023 when the talented QB threw seven touchdowns and only one interception. Last season, Angeli was the backup QB to Riley Leonard and finished the season with 268 yards and three touchdowns.

Angeli is very much a Tennessee fit because of his consistency and his age. The Vols lack QB depth and experience. The Vols have two young QBs in second-year QB Jake Merklinger and true freshman George MacIntyre. The Vols need the experience, and Angeli brings that to the table.

Some believe the Vols could be a real contender in Angeli's portal recruitment. It is unclear at this time if the Vol are contending, but if so, Angeli is a smart choice by them or nearly any program in a similar situation.
