2025/26 Transfer Portal Thread

[Skooter]

Isn't Leavitt a bit of a question coming back from surgery?

Lis franc injuries have high recurrence rates. Arthritis, stiffness and swelling are common complications after the tiny bone has healed from surgery.
If we are getting a portal qb, I’d rather them coming off an acl.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

I am really surprised that we haven’t gotten anyone to jump in our portal pond yet, 18 have jumped out.

Just to clarify, how many of our 18 have signed on elsewhere? What % of all entries have signed on this first day?

Right? Time to fire the staff

I really should’ve put that out there in BLUE font, on the portal site that I’m looking at. I’m only watching for those that are signing with Tennessee. Big fat zero so far.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Yeah I'm crying exactly zero tears over defensive players on a 5-loss team transferring; defensive players who bent over and let Vandy push their **** in, as well

This is silly. You do realize that many of the young defensive players didn’t play against Vandy right? Yeah it’s no big deal if we lost 15 defensive players right? Good grief

 

[VOLATNES]

Why would we want Ty? He looked absolutely horrible down the stretch.

I agree he did have some rough times, but he also got zero help from a run game. And their OL struggled at times too.

First year starting and bama’s run game was horrific

 

[CAVPUT]

Anyone else only coming to the recruiting board for the portal thread or is it just me?

 

[VolGee4]

I think anyone could make the statement that was made
Nothing really telling in it
Yes we’re getting portal guys
No I’m not an insider

He’s a true insider. Pretty clear.

this can’t be serious?

 

[Jackcrevol]

is this a big loss?

 

[Blake25p]

Lock in gentleman. #1 in the boat

We all know Heupel has been trying to get Ty Simpson to UT for 5 years now, the definition of #1…

 

[BigorangeBoy]

is this a big loss?

We don’t know, he sat out this year because of ACL surgery

 

[MarcoVol]

Might be good utility option?

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Just watched Cam Cook RB Jax St and Oh my.My new favorite portal RB.This kid is unreal game breaker!

I'd LOVE to get Cook

 

[KB5252]

this can’t be serious?

I wasn't impressed with him, but it could just be that he want a great fit.

My biggest knocks on him, locked onto receivers telegraphed what he was looking for

Didn't read the entire field well.

To the second point we only run true routes on one side of the field. So maybe that's not such a big issue in our system.

Either way I'll trust our churches eval of the position, need and player.

[Cosmo Kramer]

[Legion of Doom]

is this a big loss?

Not a big loss. He was not getting better or a factor. Heupel seems to have recruited over guys, which is how this should go.

 

[BbwVol]

Might be good utility option?

Would be a good fit for our needs.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Have not had time to clear legal review in 1st day. Bet most are playing teams against each other for NIL maximization.

 

[Leavertons Tackle]

He played in 8 games.

10 TDs is still poo in 8 games but at least it’s not 12 games

But he had one of the top WR prospects for the draft and still didn’t exactly light it up

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

I agree he did have some rough times, but he also got zero help from a run game. And their OL struggled at times too.

I mean, I think he would be better in our offense, but so would a lot of guys.

 

[Volnukem]

I think we are authorized to expand to the 105 total this year (if wanted) we could possibly add as many as 23-25 players after the current portal exits and the graduates. I don’t think we would go that high, but who knows.

That 105 is also a roster limit. We had 110 guys on the team this year including walkons. We will have to drop that to 105. Everyone on the team will be a scholarship player now including the long snapper and all the other special teamers that used to only be walkons.

 

[bpalmer28]

This doesn’t excite me… their second string guy, Kristian Lando is better than him

he’s the leading rusher in college football
