  Tennessee tight end Julian Nixon has entered the transfer portal, he announced Wednesday on Twitter. Nixon, a 6-foot-3, 235-pounder from Atlanta, was rated a four-star signee by 247Sports Composite in UT's 2021 class. As a freshman, he did not appear in a game and took a redshirt. Nixon is the second UT player to enter the transfer portal since spring practice ended on April 14, joining offensive lineman James Robinson. With those two departures, UT has 78 scholarship players projected for the 2022 season, well under the maximum 85 allotted by the NCAA. That includes 70 players already on campus and eight more arriving this summer. - Knoxville News Sentinel

  Rhett Rodriguez will start at quarterback for Louisiana-Monroe in the season opener at Kentucky. ULM coach Terry Bowden announced the decision during his Tuesday media availability. The Warhawks kick off against the Wildcats on Saturday at 11 a.m. on the SEC Network. "Rhett will start the game and we'll back him up from there," Bowden said. "He's got very good talent but the fact he's been raised on his father's offense and he got here in January to learn the things we've added offensively was very beneficial." Rodriguez, the son of ULM offensive coordinator Rich Rodriguez, joined the program in the spring. The graduate transfer began his career at Arizona playing for his father and Kevin Sumlin.

He graduated as valedictorian from Arizona's Eller College of Management in May and has two years of eligibility remaining. The younger Rodriguez's knowledge of Rich Rod's up-tempo spread offense helped him best Colby Suits and Jeremy Hunt for the job. Suits made eight starts in 2020 and Hunt started the final two games of the season. Bowden didn't rule out playing multiple quarterbacks at Kentucky. "Those guys all did a great job," Bowden said. "None of them have chosen to pick up and leave and they've really bought into this program. I think we have to play that thing out and see who can be that hot guy to come in. "Maybe Colby throws it a little better and Jeremy runs it a little better, but they're both pretty much conventional drop back quarterbacks and they give you that element." - The News-Star
