Left-handed reliever Dylan Loy, who appeared in more games than any other Tennessee pitcher this season, has entered the NCAA transfer portal.
Loy threw in 33 of the 64 contests for Tony Vitello’s Volunteers, compiling a 4-0 record with a 3.97 earned run average. The 6-foot, 208-pound sophomore from Pigeon Forge tallied 36 strikeouts in 34 innings pitched and performed in the two games against Wake Forest in the NCAA tournament’s Knoxville Regional and both contests against Arkansas in the Fayetteville Super Regional.
In six of Loy’s 33 appearances, he pitched at least two innings, which included the 10-4 loss to the Razorbacks in the final game of Tennessee’s season.
The Pigeon Forge High School valedictorian made a splash as a Tennessee freshman, appearing in 21 games and compiling a 2-0 record and a 2.37 ERA with 37 strikeouts in 30 innings. When the Vols won the national championship over Texas A&M last June at the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, he pitched in the first and third games of the best-of-three title series.
Loy is the eighth Tennessee player from the 2025 roster to depart via the transfer portal.
