Vols veteran defender Brandon Davis announces he's entering the NCAA transfer portal
Tennessee is set to lose some depth in the defensive backfield ahead of fall camp.
Veteran defender Brandon Davis (New Orleans, La.) announced on social media that he was entering the NCAA transfer portal. Usually, when players enter the transfer portal, they don’t release public statements. Being in the transfer portal allows them to have conversations with other programs around the country, and it also allows players to return to their schools if they change their mind.
Davis, however, seems solid on transferring, as he released a statement on his personal Twitter account.
“I would like to thank my family and friends who’s been with me throughout my journey I’m on and continuing to be on,” he wrote. “I would also like to thank the coaches (who have) helped me throughout my years at UT!

“I will be entering the transfer portal and reopening my recruiting process. Thank you Vol Nation you have been supportive the whole way! Nothing but love! I made friends at UT that’s going to last forever and thankful for everyone who took me in with open arms! I wish nothing but the best for my teammates.”
The Tennessee safety signed with the Vols in the class of 2018. Exiting high school, he was ranked as the nation’s No. 158 overall cornerback and the state of Louisiana’s No. 72 overall prospect, according to 247Sports Composite Rankings.
Davis didn’t record any statistics at Tennessee.
Good luck kiddo!
I believe this is best for both school and Davis as I don’t even think he is 3 deep on the depth chart.
He’ll get more opportunities elsewhere.
Indeed. Good luck wherever you land.
With goodens dismissal I think we are 1 over the limit. Plenty of time for that to resolve itself but hope it’s not by losing another high caliber player doing something stupid.
Losing Gooden is disappointing…his career hasn’t panned out getting hurt and missing the season last year,then doing something stupid to end his career. Was looking for big things from him this year.
Deep breath. Seems like that comes with success in recruiting top end talent. Hate to see his career at Tennessee end that way.
Good Luck, young man. I’ve spent the evening watching the history of the SEC. I feel blessed to have participated.
This is a perfect example of why the transfer rule is a good thing. The guy wants to play! Good luck young man!
