Tennessee QB transfer news adds pressure to Joey Aguilar figuring things out soon

When the Tennessee Vols take the field for the 2026 Music City Bowl, is it going to be the last time we see quarterback Joey Aguilar suit up for Josh Heupel? That could be the case, as Aguilar, for now, is going to be out of eligibility once this campaign comes to a close.

However, there's some hope, as Aguilar is making a legal push to get an extra season in Knoxville. This is something everyone is eyeing moving forward. With former 4-star signee Jake Merklinger deciding that he'll enter the transfer portal, it surely adds some urgency for the SEC powerhouse to figure things out with Aguilar ASAP.
