Tennessee’s coaches continue checking on

After spending the weekend visiting with some of Tennessee’s top targets and commitments, Vols coach Josh Heupel and his staff scattered across the country Monday to begin the first full week of the contact period leading up to Early Signing Day. With the transfer portal now being open to all underclassmen, the Vols started scouring the transfer market while also checking on targets from coast to coast in the 2024 class and future classes.

The college football transfer portal continues to add serious talent at multiple positions and recently welcomed its best cornerback to date in Georgia’s Nyland Green, who leaped to the top of the defensive back rankings and into the top 5 overall with a 95 overall rating. More than 300 defensive backs have entered the portal this offseason, with nearly 200 of those players earning three-star grades or higher.

Green is the fifth transfer cornerback to garner a four-star rating this offseason, and we’ve decided to take a look at the top 10-rated corners to enter the portal thus far, providing intel on team interest and scheduled visits on several of the top prospects.

Prior to Green’s entry into the portal, former Clemson Tigers defender Toriano Pride sat atop the transfer cornerback rankings. He committed to Missouri on Wednesday, displaying how quickly things can move in the portal before it closes at the end of the day on Jan. 1, 2024
