SO SAD: The Tennessee Volunteers continue to lose defensive backs…….

Defensive backs for the Tennessee Volunteers are still leaving due to the transfer portal.

The first defensive backs to enter the portal were Doneiko Slaughter, Jack Luttrell, Warren Burrell, and Brandon

Turnage. Afterwards, De’Shawn Rucker and Tamarion McDonald added their names to the list on Monday.

Still, there are other defensive backs besides those six that won’t be going back to Rocky Top in 2024. Kamal Hadden

and Jaylen McCollough are unable to return because they have used up all of their eligibility. This indicates that the

Vols will probably lose eight cornerbacks in the offseason.

There won’t be enough secondary players for the Citrus Bowl.

On New Year’s Day, the Vols and Iowa Hawkeyes will square off in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl. If things continue this

way, the Vols might have to rely on a number of inexperienced guys to step in for that game. Gabe Jeudy-Lally

should be back in the game, and McCollough will play. Currently, Wesley Walker, Rickey Gibson, and Jourdan

Thomas are the other alternatives on the team.

The two losses that will probably have the most effects on the people who used the portal are McDonald and

Slaughter. For the Vols in 2023, McDonald recorded 40 tackles, 1 sack, and 1 interception. Slaughter recorded one

sack and thirty-two tackles.
