Tennessee makes huge addition to roster, adds former 5-star transfer from Michigan

Christmas came a few days early for the Tennessee Volunteers, who picked up a huge transfer from Michigan on Friday.

Former 5-star recruit Aubrey Solomon, a defensive tackle out of Georgia, was announced as the newest member of the team.

Solomon was a member of the 2018 recruiting class, but decided to leave the Wolverines’ program recently:

Per the 247Sports composite, Solomon was the No. 2 defensive tackle in the class of 2018 and the No. 2 overall recruit from the state of Georgia.

The defensive line has been an area of concern the past couple of years in Tennessee, but Solomon seems poised to make a big impact for the Vols in the coming years.
