The Tennessee Volunteers have been in the headlines due to their back-and-forth with now-former starting quarterback Nico Iamaleava, who is officially in the college football transfer portal.

Running back transfer Anthony Woods was a productive player at Idaho, rushing for totals of 2,027 yards and 19 touchdowns in 2022 and ’23. He transferred to Utah last offseason but was plagued by injury and didn’t carry the ball once for the Utes in ’24.
