Tennessee Lost Their Leading Tackler To The Portal
Tennessee-Pittsburgh: Week 2
The Tennessee Vols are on the road this week, hoping to avenge 2021’s loss to the Pittsburgh Panthers.
It might not seem significant that a player who only recovered four tackles last season is not leaving the program, but the more depth you can keep along your defensive line, the better.
The Volunteers just saw their leading tackler linebacker, Elijah Herring, enter the portal last week. They are already down a player on the defensive side of the ball and couldn’t afford to lose another one.
