Another Tennessee player puts name in NCAA transfer portal

 

[IndianapolisVol]

Oh no

 

[ZZ13]

Going to meet his Other.

Ok, since it is obligatory for someone to post it I will.

Who is Austin Smith?

 

[eaglevol]

Junior outside linebacker. If he transfers, it helps with the numbers crunch to get the rest of the 2019 class in.

 

[jrwvol]

Good Luck to him. I would assume he is a good guy with good attitude to have stuck it out this long.

 

[Gandalf]

Making room. 3* who just didnt pan out. Couple of injuries (and bad coaching) probably didnt help either. Wish him the best.

 

[FlyFishnVol]

UT is cleaning house, bad things happen to good people, Austin gave 1000%, hope he finds a place that can use his skills, passion and heart.

VFL!

 

[VolinMC]

Best of luck to the young man. I really thought he could help us when he signed.

[UCDog90]

Very fine young man. Good luck , Austin. Only Kirkland and Landon Knoll out of the 2015 LB class left.

 

[Jackcrevol]

we needed LB depth last time i checked.

 

[VoltillweFall]

He had a very promising early Fresh Year. Injuries got the best of him. Last year with Kongbo getting hurt I assumed he may get more clock, never happened.

Good luck Austin, thanks for giving your all for tennessee! Gbo!

 

[VolsnRavens]

Seeing the talent that Pruitt is getting, J.J. Peterson, Crouch, maybe To'... I beleive he sees more playing time elsewhere. Can't knock a kid for wanting to play. Good luck to this young man in the future. And Go Pruitt for upgrading talent where we need it.

 

[82_VOL_83]

Nah, probably not in this case.

Would be nice to leave him in the S&C program through the end of the semester if he transfers outside on the conference.

 

[OnlyGodForgives]

Going to meet his Other.

Some would say he was at best a fringe contributor.

 

[GBOVFL88]

If he wants to transfer, let him and wish him luck. If he has entered the portal he isn't bought into the program and will stand in the way of progress and act as an obstacle to incoming transfers and freshmen that will need the leadership of upper classmen to buy in and be a part of the team in every way. Good luck sir.

As a courtesy to him for his dedication to Tennessee to assist in his future endeavors or for him to possibly get healthy, stay and be a contributor? Not being smart, just wondering what you meant.

I hope everything works out for him

The first part plus some of the second. He got hurt here and should have access to facilities until he is off campus. He probably does since his scholly runs through the end of the semester.

Yeah. But, man if there was ever a guy who was going to be able to seize the moment it should have been him. Had some injuries, so ya never know. But gosh did we ever need him to materialize and he didn't.

It would be amazing if it were a sign To'oto'o is a silent!
