  A transfer from Tennessee, he enrolled at CU in January. During his three seasons with the Volunteers, Shrout played in eight games, including one as a starter. The most experienced quarterback on the CU roster, Shrout completed 37-of-69 passes for 494 yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions during his career with the Vols. Last year, he was 24-of-42 for 315 yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions. In his last game at Tennessee, he played against Texas A&M - CU's opponent in Week 2 this year. Shrout has a big arm, and is more of a pocket passer than others on the roster. "JT Shrout flashed some really good things in spring ball," Chiaverini said. "He's got a strong arm; he's got really good touch; throws a really good deep ball; has good presence." - Daily Camera

The 6-foot-3, 276-pound Mincey entered the transfer portal on March 5. He will have two seasons of eligibility remaining. Mincey appeared in 24 games in three years with the Vols, never quite cracking the starting lineup. He played in all 10 games in 2020, amassing eight tackles, a half-tackle for loss and one quarterback hurry. He had five tackles in both 2018 and 2019. Mincey, a three-star prospect from Clinch County High in Homerville, Georgia, signed in 2018, as part of former coach Jeremy Pruitt's first signing class. The Vols were able to flip Mincey from Arkansas on National Signing Day. - Knoxville News Sentinel

  Although he's played in games at the college level, JT Shrout had some catching up to do this spring when he joined the Colorado football team. As the Buffaloes crossed the mid-point of spring practice on Wednesday, however, Shrout is making a good impression. "For a newcomer, he's behind the eight ball a little bit but he's done a great job, studying, really putting in the time in the offseason to be comfortable at this point in spring ball," CU quarterbacks coach Danny Langsdorf said Wednesday after the Buffs' eighth practice of spring. A transfer from Tennessee, Shrout enrolled at CU in January. On Wednesday, the Division I council reportedly approved a one-time transfer exemption, making Shrout eligible to play this fall. While that was expected, it boosts the CU quarterback room to know Shrout will be available.

A 6-foot-3, 215-pound sophomore, Shrout has three seasons to play at CU. At Tennessee, he eight played in eight games, including one start, completing 37-of-69 passes for 494 yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions. "He's been very good," Langsdorf said. "We just ran a two-minute drill just now and he had really good command of the huddle, the signals, getting guys lined up decision making. He led us on a touchdown drive. "For a guy that's not been here very long, I'm very pleased. He's a really smart quarterback, and that's helping him. He's put in some time here in the short period and he's been very comfortable. You put somebody in a two-minute drill, you get to know a little about what their level of understanding is, and we threw a lot at him right there. He went down the field and made a nice touchdown pass. I feel really good about his progress." - Daily Camera

  Tennessee football's front seven is getting thinner in depth. John Mincey, a junior defensive lineman for the Vols, announced on Friday his intentions to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal. He is the 24th Tennessee player to either transfer out, or enter the portal, since the end of the 2020 season. The 6-foot-3, 276-pound Mincey also played some outside linebacker at Tennessee. His departure takes on adding meaning with loss of fellow pass rushers Deandre Johnson, who transferred to Miami, and Kivon Bennett, who was dismissed after getting arrested.

  As of Wednesday night, Illinois football had landed commitments from three college transfers since Bret Bielema took over the program on Dec. 19. The number grew to four on Thursday morning. And the athlete the Illini snagged this time comes from the most recognizable school in recent college football history. Alabama defensive back Eddie Smith tweeted his verbal commitment to Illinois, eight days after announcing his entry into the transfer portal and 10 days after the Crimson Tide defeated Ohio State in the latest national championship game. The 6-foot, 196-pound player out of Slidell, La., spent the last three years at Alabama. He competed in six games during his freshman season of 2018, primarily on special teams, before redshirting as a sophomore after seeing time in just one game. Smith took part in two of the Crimson Tide's 13 games this year. - News Gazette Tribune

  The Tennessee Volunteers used four quarterbacks on their way to a 3-7 season in 2020. Half of them have decided not to stick around for 2021. Redshirt sophomore J.T. Shrout, who played in each of Tennessee's final three games against Florida, Vanderbilt and Texas A&M, entered the NCAA transfer portal Tuesday and plans to play his final three season elsewhere. Shrout's decision follows that of fifth-year senior Jarrett Guarantano, who entered the portal within an hour of Saturday's 34-13 loss to Texas A&M inside Neyland Stadium. Shrout completed 24 of 41 passes for 315 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions in Tennessee's last three contests. He also played in four games during the 2019 season, with his lone career start resulting in a 30-7 victory over UAB. - Chattanooga Times Free Press
