Lane Kiffin is back in Knoxville, and if the former Tennessee head coach wasn’t a big enough villain for Vols fans already, he came looking to steal a top transfer portal quarterback away from Josh Heupel.
Arizona State transfer Sam Leavitt left his visit to LSU without signing with the Tigers, as news that Demond Williams, whom Kiffin recruited to Ole Miss before he ended up at Washington with Jedd Fisch, entered the portal. Now, despite igniting a legal dispute with Washington over a revenue-sharing deal, it seems that Williams is heading back to Seattle. So, Kiffin wasn’t about to let Leavitt lock things in with the Vols.
