Former Tennessee Vols wide receiver Jimmy Calloway entered the NCAA transfer portal earlier this month and he's already found a new home.

Calloway signed with Louisville on Wednesday.

The Cardinals recently hired Jeff Brohm away from Purdue to serve as the program's head coach. Brohm was nearly hired as Tennessee's head coach in late 2017.

Calloway, a former four-star recruit, signed with Tennessee during the 2020 recruiting cycle.

The Georgia native caught nine passes for 124 yards and one touchdown during his time in Knoxville. His one touchdown reception came in 2021 in the Vols' loss to the Pittsburgh Panthers.

Calloway generated headlines earlier this season after throwing a punch at an Akron defender. He was suspended for the first half of Tennessee's game against the Florida Gators for his actions.

There's no doubt that Calloway has talent, he was just never able to put it all together at Tennessee. Perhaps a fresh start is all he needs to reach his ceiling.
