Chas Nimrod became the second Tennessee wide receiver to announce that he plans to enter the transfer portal as the Vols prepare to play Ohio State in a College Football Playoff game.
Kaleb Webb, another veteran backup, made the same announcement last week. Overall, seven Tennessee players have announced that they’re entering the transfer portal, which opened Monday.
Nimrod. a redshirt sophomore, played 27 games in three seasons at Tennessee. He made 29 catches for 315 yards and one TD in his career.
He is a versatile receiver who can play all three positions in UT’s offense.
In 2023, Nimrod made five starts as the Vols dealt with a series of injuries in the wide receiving corps. In 2024, he has served mostly as Squirrel White’s backup at slot receiver. He has been a valuable utility receiver when White and others have sat out with injuries.
