Former Tennessee Vols running back Khalifa Keith has a new home.
Keith, who spent two seasons at Tennessee before entering the NCAA transfer portal after the 2024 season, announced on Saturday that he's transferring to Appalachian State.
Keith is a former three-star recruit from Birmingham, AL who signed with Tennessee during the 2023 recruiting cycle. In two seasons at Tennessee, Keith rushed for 124 yards and a touchdown. He also caught one pass for eight yards.
The former Vol played in just four games in 2024. He has three seasons of eligibility remaining.
Tennessee is also losing running backs Dylan Sampson (NFL Draft) and Cam Seldon (transfer portal), leaving Peyton Lewis and DeSean Bishop as the Volunteers' top returning running backs in 2025.
Potential future defensive coordinator option for the Tennessee Vols will enter the 2025 season on the hot seat
The timing could work out nicely
