The Tennessee Volunteers are set to host yet another talented transfer portal target. The Vols will be hosting one of the better players on their board, as they will be hosting star forward Miles Rubin from Loyola Chicago.

Rubin is one of the better players in the transfer portal, as he currently ranks as the No. 73 player in the portal, according to Rivals, as of the making of this article. He averaged a total of 11.3 PTS, 7.1 REB, 2.3 AST, and an insane average of 2.3 BLK per game, which makes him one of the better defensive forwards in the transfer portal. He will be one of the players Rick Barnes pushes the hardest for because of who he has been losing. The Vols will be losing J.P. Estrella, Cade Phillips, Felix Okpara, and Jaylen Carey, who were the main core at the big positions entering the season. As of now, the main player that the Vols will be returning in the big men group is DeWayne Brown. The Vols will need some help there, and that is exactly what they would get from Rubin.

Rubin is expected to visit the Vols this weekend, which will be one of the bigger visits that they host this offseason. Here is more information about the talented prospect and how his 2025-2026 look, according to loyolaramblers.com.
