Drew Pember may be a Knoxville native but the local basketball product looks to be finishing his college basketball career elsewhere.

That’s because the big man announced on Friday that he has entered the NCAA transfer portal after spending two seasons with the program.

Pember appeared in 10 games for Tennessee this season but appeared in just 28 minutes of action for the Vols.

A product of Bearden High School, Pember was rated as the state’s No. 7 overall prospect in the 2019 recruiting cycle.
