The 45 day window for college football players to enter the transfer portal at the conclusion of the 2022 season has closed. Players that already entered the portal remain in there as they look for a new home but the chaos and action in the portal is decreasing.
The portal will open again for two weeks after spring practice and more Vols will undoubtedly enter the portal then.
But for now, Tennessee’s offseason departures are clear and everyone else will be on the roster through winter workouts and spring practice.
Tennessee lost 12 different players to the transfer portal who had different sized roles in 2022. Let’s take a look at the Tennessee players that entered the transfer portal at the conclusion of the 2022 season.
