A former Tennessee Vols player was named this week as one of the top transfer portal prospects for the upcoming NCAA transfer portal cycle.
247Sports ranked former Vols defensive back Key Lawrence as their current No. 10 transfer portal prospect.
Lawrence, a former four-star recruit from Nashville, started his career at Tennessee in 2020 before transferring to Oklahoma. He spent three seasons at Oklahoma before transferring to Ole Miss ahead of the 2024 season. Lawrence played in just four games for the Rebels this season before deciding to redshirt.
From 247Sports: Key Lawrence is back in the portal after just six months at Ole Miss. The former Oklahoma transfer appeared in four games this season for the Rebels before opting to redshirt and maintain his final year of eligibility. The 6-foot, 205-pound safety primarily played on special teams at Ole Miss, recording just one tackle. Lawrence appeared in 36 games during his three seasons at Oklahoma. He made 14 starts for the Sooners, including six at safety. Lawrence totaled 149 tackles with three interceptions and 12 passes defended at Oklahoma.
Lawrence played in 10 games for the Vols as a true freshman in 2020, totaling eight tackles. In three seasons at Oklahoma, Lawrence totaled 149 tackles (including 11 tackles for loss) and three interceptions. He had just one tackle in four games for Ole Miss this season before opting to redshirt.
The former Vol transferred to Oklahoma just days before Josh Heupel was hired to replace Jeremy Pruitt as Tennessee's head football coach.
I wouldn't expect a reunion with Tennessee to be in the cards for Lawrence.
The secret to quickly unlocking Nico Iamaleava’s talent has been discovered, but Tennessee might not be willing to do it
Kinda a catch 22 for the Vols
