Tennessee Volunteers offensive tackle Lance Heard continues to be listed as one of the top transfers of the offseason.

Tennessee Volunteers offensive tackle Lance Heard was one of the biggest transfers of the offseason, both figuratively and literally. He measures in at 6-foot-6 and 335 pounds, according to the team's website, which is the prototypical size for a left tackle. He was one of the top offensive linemen in the 2023 recruiting cycle and signed with the LSU Tigers.

Heard entered the portal after his true freshman season with three seasons of eligibility left. Tennessee offered an immediate opportunity in a competitive conference, not to mention that the Vols signed his cousin, Jeremias Heard, in the 2024 cycle.
