Walker Merrill, Wake Forest, Player News

Not everybody is deciding to stick around and savor Tennessee's first 11-win season in more than two decades. Three offensive reserves for the Volunteers - sophomore receiver Walker Merrill, redshirt freshman tackle William Parker and redshirt sophomore tackle RJ Perry - have entered the NCAA transfer portal this week, with Merrill and Perry submitting their names Wednesday. The trio combined for just 135 offensive snaps all season. Merrill played 55 offensive snaps in seven games and made the most of t hem, racking up eight receptions for 116 yards and three touchdowns.The former ESPN and Rivals.com four-star signee out of Brentwood High School near Nashville scored against Ball State, Akron and Vanderbilt, but the 6-foot-1, 195-pounder didn't p lay a single offensive snap in Friday night's 31-14 downing of Clemson in the Orange Bowl. The Vols defeated the Tigers despite not having receivers Jalin Hyatt and Cedric Tillman due to opt-out decisions. Merrill's exit leaves Tennessee with only one of its top-10 signees - current sophomore defensive back De'Shawn Rucker - from the 2021 recruiting cycle, which transpired in the final months of Jeremy Pruitt's tenure as coach. - Chattanooga Times Free Press

Walker Merrill debuted a new look with a dark visor at the start of Tennessee football preseason practices. But the switch isn't a style statement from the sophomore wide receiver. "I have ongoing migraine problems," Merrill said Thursday. "So the sun so metimes affects it. We try to keep those minimal. So I have a dark visor." Merrill, a Brentwood native, played in 10 games with one start as a freshman in the 2021 season. He caught five passes for 52 yards.NCAA rules prohibit visors being worn in games, so Merrill won't be able to wear the dark visor during Tennessee's games. The Vols open the season against Ball State on Sept. 1 (7 p.m. ET, SEC Network) at Neyland Stadium. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound Merrill approached UT's medical team with a plan this offseason. He read an article about New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram wearing a dark visor to deal with migraines. The medical staff put in a request for one to help Merrill's situation. "I am just trying not to get them," Merrill said. "I wear the visor. Hopefully, everything goes correct. Knock on wood, I have had a better deal since I have been wearing it." - Knoxville News Sentinel
