Tennessee redshirt junior defensive back Andre Turrentine will play his former team Ohio State in the first-round of the College Football Playoff.

Turrentine transferred to Tennessee ahead of the 2022 season. He has appeared in 36 games for the Vols since 2022, totaling 64 tackles, four tackles for a loss, two interceptions and six pass deflections.

“I’m just excited,” Turrentine said of playing his former team. “Excited to get back on the field and play one more time with these guys. I’m excited to play that team. I know a lot of guys on that team, so just having that brotherhood and camaraderie from being a freshman there is going to be big in this game, and for me personally it gives you a reason to be excited for this game.”

Turrentine enrolled at Ohio State in June 2021 and played in four games for the Buckeyes.

No. 9 seed Tennessee (10-2, 6-2 SEC) will play No. 8 seed Ohio State (10-2, 7-2 Big Ten) on Dec. 21.

Kickoff between the Vols and Buckeyes is slated for 8 p.m. EST at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. The game will be televised by ABC.
