University of Tennessee quarterback Quinten Dormady (12) throws a pass during the University of Tennessee vs. University of Georgia football game at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tenn., Saturday, Sept. 30, 2017. KNOXVILLE – Tennessee quarterback Quinten Dormady announced his intention to transfer in a post on his Twitter account Monday night.
Dormady, who was a junior in 2017, indicated he plans to complete his degree at Tennessee but use his final year of eligibility elsewhere.
The 6-foot-4 Texas native began the 2017 season as Tennessee’s starting quarterback and led the Volunteers to a 3-1 start but lost his starting role after a 41-0 loss to Georgia.
Dormady underwent shoulder surgery later in the season and did not return to game action. Tennessee finished the season with a combination of redshirt freshman Jarrett Guarantano and true freshman Will McBride at quarterback.
“I would like to thank everyone at the University of Tennessee program for the opportunity over the past three years to play the game I love at the highest level of college football as part of the Vol Nation,” Dormady wrote in the Twitter post.
