Make no mistake that Keller Chryst’s commitment to Tennessee will shake up the Vols’ quarterback competition entering the 2018 season.
Chryst has 13 career starts at Stanford and was one of the hottest names on the graduate transfer market at quarterback this offseason.
Tennessee had reportedly expressed interest in others, such as Wagner graduate transfer Alex Thompson and East Carolina graduate transfer Gardner Minshew.
But Minshew chose Alabama, at least partially because of what a season with the Crimson Tide could do for the coaching career he aspires to have. And Thompson chose a somewhat low-key destination in Marshall.
You would imagine Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt, and especially offensive coordinator Tyson Helton, are pleased with how things panned out. Chryst is easily the most-proven out of those three, although there were a handful of other quarterbacks with starting experience on the graduate transfer market.
