Former Tennessee LB Shanon Reid has found his new football home. Illinois State, an FCS program, announced Reid among its signees on Wednesday.

Reid, a native of Fort Myers, Florida, originally joined the Volunteers in 2017. The former 3-star outside linebacker recruit played in seven games as a true freshman and nine as a true sophomore (2018). This year, as a junior, Reid played in four games before deciding to enter the NCAA transfer portal.

By playing in only four games, Reid can take a redshirt for the 2019 season and preserve a season of eligibility. Also, by transferring to an FCS program he does not have to sit out the 2020 season. He will be considered a redshirt junior next fall with two seasons remaining.

Reid made 17 total tackles in two-plus seasons at UT.
