Just before the 2019 season, Tennessee football lost Kurrott Garland to the transfer portal, and Greg Emerson was a rising star. However, Garland returned to the Vols in time for the opener, and he became a regular in the rotation.

Now, ironically, two years later, Emerson is the one who appears to be leaving Rocky Top. According to Patrick Brown of GoVols247, the 6’3″ 290-pound defensive tackle has now entered the transfer portal.

On the surface, this seems like a big loss for Tennessee football.
