Several Tennessee Vols are transferring. Is the sky falling on Josh Heupel?

Look up to see that the sky is not falling. It's still up there.


Several Tennessee players are beelining for the transfer portal.
That might seem unnerving. Look around, though, and you'll see
this is happening at programs across the country.


This exodus is not a UT problem. It's simply a reflection of the
state of college football, where immediate eligibility for
transfers and portal windows results in a flurry of outbound
players each December.


While Tennessee is losing some quantity, it is retaining most of
its quality. Even so, there are a few outbound Vols whose absence
could be felt in 2024.


On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and Adam Sparks assess
Tennessee's defections and preview what's needed from inbound
transfers. They rank the top three Vols in the portal who will be
missed most in 2024.


They also assess Josh Heupel's strategy as it pertains to
juggling transfers with recruiting high school talent, and they
weigh in on Tennessee's 2024 recruiting class that ranks 14th
nationally in the 247Sports Composite. The December signing
period begins next week.
