One of the top targets for the Vols in the transfer portal cycle, and the first person to pull the trigger on the Vols. He is a safety who will be joining Tennessee from Kansas State and is committed to the Vols over many different schools. He committed around 24 hours after he visited Knoxville. He will be a premier addition for the Vols at the safety position, which is a position group they will need a minimum of two guys at in the portal.

Ory Williams

One of the top offensive tackles on the board for the Vols. They landed another home run, and he is a guy who will look to compete in his first season with Tennessee. He is someone who has been viewed as a long-term option across the line from David Sanders Jr. Williams being their second guy in the boat gave this team some high hopes moving forward.

Kayin Lee

A proven cornerback from the SEC, who will join the Vols with the thoughts of being an immediate starter. He is someone who has shown he is a different level of talented at the catch point, and was one of the top corners in the portal.
