Grad Transfers
Keller Chryst, QB – Stanford
Brandon Kennedy, OL – Alabama
Madre London, RB – Michigan State
Ryan Tice, K – Michigan (walk-on)
Jeremy Pruitt wanted to add some instant impact players who’ve gone through the rigors of college football already to bring in increased competition and fill holes on the Vols’ roster. And he brought in three scholarship grad transfers and a walk-on grad transfer as well.
Chryst will battle Jarrett Guarantano for the Vols’ starting quarterback job, Kennedy is expected to battle for a starting role at either center or guard, and London should be a solid No. 2 option in Tennessee’s run game. And all three should have big roles on Tennessee’s offense this fall, and Kennedy actually has two years of eligibility and will be back in 2019. The same goes for Tice at kicker.
