The Tennessee Volunteers have been pushing to host many different prospects when it comes to the transfer portal, as they have hopes of being able to bring in a ton of different talented players. One of the positions that they need the most is the cornerback position as they look to add at least one player, if not multiple.

They are set to host a new portal name when it comes to the position, as the player that they are now set to host has shown some signs of enjoying the Tennessee program, as he was a Tennessee lean at one point in his high school career.

The player is Omillio Agard, who is entering his redshirt-sophomore year, and has become one of the better transfer cornerbacks in the class due to his ability to play as a lockdown at a young age. He is someone who would likely be able to spend multiple seasons with the Orange and White. He is a priority for many teams, including the Tennessee Volunteers. If the Vols can hold their own in this one, and he has a great visit, they could absolutely have a new starter in town.

Here is some more of about him according to his bio from uwbadgers.com.
