After four years with Tennessee basketball, it appears Jalen Johnson’s redshirt junior season will have been his last on Rocky Top. The 6’6″ 196-pound guard’s name appeared in the NCAA transfer portal, according to a report on GoVols247.
Johnson was part of the Vols’ incredibly overachieving 2016 recruiting class, which included Grant Williams, Jordan Bone, Jordan Bowden and John Fulkerson. Kwe Parker was also in that class, and all six guys were three-stars.
Parker transferred after a year, and Johnson took a redshirt before riding the bench for two years as Williams, Bone, Bowden and the previous class, which had Admiral Schofield, Kyle Alexander and Lamonte Turner, formed the bulk of the action for Tennessee basketball.
