  Draft Scout by Conference









  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 them, 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 play 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
