Slaughter spent four seasons at Tennessee and bounced around every position in the defensive backfield before landing at cornerback. The Georgia native started seven games at cornerback in 2022 and four games at corner in 2023.
The 6-foot, 190-pound defensive back was Tennessee’s third cornerback for most of the season before moving into the starting lineup after Kamal Hadden suffered a season ending injury in the Vols’ loss at Alabama.
