Tennessee EDGE Tyler Baron has removed name from transfer portal

The transfer portal truly never sleeps. One day after entering, Tennessee’s Tyler Baron seemed to have a change of heart.

Per On3’s Matt Zenitz, the sophomore has decided against leaving and will spend his junior season in 2022 on Rocky Top.

That is a blow for Kentucky football.

The former top-125 recruit picked the Volunteers over Kentucky and Ohio State on signing day, but a lot has changed in Knoxville since Baron committed to the Big Orange. Former head coach Jeremy Pruitt has been fired and Tennessee has NCAA sanctions coming down the chimney at any moment.
