Some busy times are coming for Josh Heupel and Tennessee football, as the transfer portal is set to open up on Friday and the Vols need some serious help on both sides of the ball. Unfortunately, Heupel is now going to be looking for a new starting left tackle.
On Thursday, some surprising news came in that Lance Heard has made the tough decision to leave Knoxville and look for his third college program. Heard originally signed out of high school with LSU, spending one campaign with Brian Kelly before he got fired.
He transferred to Tennessee ahead of the 2024 season, spending two years with the Vols.
