Former Tennessee Volunteers defensive back Brandon Turnage has chosen to commit to the Ole Miss Rebels.
The Tennessee Volunteers have been a prominent topic in the NCAA Transfer Portal, experiencing both gains and losses in key contributors. Despite these changes, the coaching staff remains committed to ensuring a competitive roster for the upcoming season. In a recent development, Brandon Turnage, who played as a defensive back for the Volunteers, has decided to join the Ole Miss Rebels. While two of his former teammates initially considered Ole Miss but eventually chose Louisville, Turnage, being a native of Oxford, Mississippi, was drawn to the opportunity of competing in the SEC and playing close to home.
As Tennessee football enters the offseason, the focus shifts towards roster construction for the 2023 season. Volunteer Country provides comprehensive coverage of the latest entries into the transfer portal and declarations for the NFL Draft. The transfer portal window is open from December 4 to January 2, and players who do not transfer during this period must wait until May, following spring practice, to enter the transfer portal.
Notable former Vols in the transfer portal include Warren Burrell (DB – Georgia Tech), Mo Clipper (OL – Charlotte), Jack Luttrell (DB – Arizona), Addison Nichols (OL – Arkansas), Tyler Baron (DL – Louisville), Doneiko Slaughter (DB – Arkansas), De’Shawn Rucker (DB – USF), Tamarion Mcdonald (DB – Louisville), Wesley Walker (DB – Louisville), and Gerald Mincey (OL – Kentucky).
On the flip side, the team has made transfer additions, including Holden Staes (Notre Dame TE), Jakobe Thomas (Middle Tennessee State S), Jerod McCoy (Oregon State CB), Chris Brazzell (Tulane WR), and Jalen McMurray (Temple DB).
