In 2017, Cade Mays was a five-star local legacy player who had been committed to Tennessee football throughout the year. But as the Vols’ season unraveled under Butch Jones, he decommitted and joined the greatest recruiting class in history hauled in by Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs in 2018.
Now, after starting 11 games and playing all 14 of them in 2019 as a sophomore, Mays appears to be heading back to Rocky Top. The 6’6″ 318-pound Knoxville Catholic High School product has entered the transfer portal.
Mays plans to transfer back to Tennessee football, according to Mark Schlabach of ESPN.
