Each week we’ll take a look at the performances of the players who transferred out of Tennessee following the 2023 season.
Here’s a look at how Tennessee’s outgoing transfers performed in week six of the 2024 college football season:
DL Tyler Baron – Miami (FL)
Baron had three tackles in Miami’s 39-38 come-from-behind victory over California. The Golden Bears took the largest lead of the day when they scored a touchdown seven minutes into the third quarter, making the score 35-10. Baron and the Hurricane’s defense would only allow three more points over the next 23 minutes. Miami would end the game on a 29-3 run featuring a stout defense, and long drives by the Miami offense ending in points.
