The Tennessee Vols could use some offensive linemen out of the NCAA transfer portal this offseason. And one entered the portal on Monday that could possibly be a good fit on Rocky Top.
On3 reported on Monday that Holy Cross offensive tackle Luke Newman has entered the transfer portal.
According to On3, Newman was named a third-team All-American by the associated press a year ago. He's also a three-time Patriot league first-team selection.
From On3: Viewed as one of the nation’s top offensive linemen at the FCS level, the three-year starter would bring experience and maturity to a roster. He is repped by Darren J. Wilson and First Class Prospects and has one year of eligibility remaining.
According to Pro Football Focus, Newman grades out as No. 4 in the nation at the offensive tackle position with FBS and FCS divisions combined. He’s allowed just one sack, no hits and three hurries this season on 325 pass-blocking snaps.
Newman has one season of eligibility remaining. The Vols are losing offensive tackles Jeremiah Crawford and John Campbell this offseason due to both exhausting their eligibility.
