Defensive lineman Jaxson Moi from Stanford has been Tennessee’s second transfer portal pledge of the day. After spending this past
weekend in Knoxville, Moi reaffirmed his preference for Tennessee over Washington.
On Sunday, Moi announced the news via X.
Following his second year at Stanford, the 6-2, 303-pound defensive lineman is entering his last season. He will be able to play in
Knoxville for the next two seasons.
According to 247Sports, the San Diego, California native was a three-star talent out of high school and ranked 541st overall in the
class.
Last season, Moi played in all 12 Stanford games, starting seven of them, including the last six games. Throughout the season, he was
credited with 15 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, and 1.5 sacks. Moi was credited with 4.5 tackles for loss in his first season.
Kalen DeBoer’s departure from Washington for Alabama, where he was supposed to make an official visit, changed the course of his
recruiting through the portal. Rodney Garner was able to enter Tennessee through that opening and add another large body to his
chamber.
Omari Thomas and Omarr Norman-Lott will be back for Tennessee in the center of the defense. Tyre West, Daevin Hobbs, Dominic
Bailey, and Bryson Eason will also be important players in 2024. Garner is still growing and becoming stronger, and Moi provides
them with another experienced player to add to the rotation.
Moi is scheduled to start the spring semester later this week when he gets to Knoxville.
