Tennessee football: J.T. Shrout transfer Jeremy Pruitt’s third QB failure

Tennessee quarterback J.T. Shrout (12) warms up before a game between Tennessee and Texas A&M in Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Saturday, Dec. 19, 2020.

Two Tennessee football Volunteers quarterbacks entered the portal within a week.

When Jeremy Pruitt first took over as Tennessee football head coach, he pulled the scholarship offer to 2018 four-star quarterback Michael Penix. After Adrian Martinez followed suit and decommitted, Pruitt secured commitments from J.T. Shrout and graduate transfer Keller Chryst.

This past year, Penix led Tom Allen’s Indiana Hoosiers to a 5-1 record, only losing by a touchdown to the Ohio State Buckeyes.
