QB among three Vols to enter portal

By Matt Moscona

With the December Transfer Portal window set to close Saturday, three more Tennessee Volunteers players are planning to leave Rocky Top.

Quarterback Gaston Moore and tight end Charlie Browder have entered the portal, according to On3. Both players began their college careers at UCF before transferring to Tennessee.

During his four seasons in Knoxville, Moore has seen action in 14 games with only six pass attempts. He will have one season of eligibility remaining.

Browder joined the Vols in 2022 as a redshirt freshman. He played in just six games across three seasons for Tennessee.

Defensive back Christian Harrison has entered the portal also. He played in 25 games during his three years with the Vols. In 2024, Harrison played in 12 games, recording 20 tackles, including 2.5 tackles for loss.

Fifteen Vols have entered the portal, while Josh Heupel’s staff has added only one player so far, former Arizona offensive lineman Wendell Moe, Jr.

Tennessee’s season ended last week in the First Round of the College Football Playoff with a lopsided, 42-17, loss at Ohio State.
