Marcus Tatum has found a new home.
The former Tennessee offensive lineman announces his decision to leave the program recently after earning his undergraduate degree in Knoxville. Because he has graduated, Tatum is eligible to play immediately next season.
The next step was simply finding a new place to play and Tatum has found that at UCF. Tatum shared that news on Wednesday.
Tatum started three games for the Vols last season, with his most recent start coming against UAB. Tatum was a regular in the rotation on Rocky Top in recent seasons but noted his desire to speak an opportunity to see more time on the field as a reason for his transfer.
When he announced his departure from the program, Tatum thanked the current coaching staff and noted he was leaving the program on good terms.
Now the Florida native will have an opportunity to finish out his college career back in his home state.
Appreciate all the support and love. Excited to say The University of Central Florida is where I’ll be calling home for my final year of eligibility. #2020KnightVision ⚔️ pic.twitter.com/izehVDTa2T
