The University of Southern California graduate transfer pipeline into Tennessee's football program continued Thursday afternoon, with the Volunteers getting a commitment from 6-foot-5, 270-pound defensive lineman Caleb Tremblay.
Tremblay, who posted "Go Vols" on Twitter and will play one season at Tennessee, competed in 18 games the past three seasons for the Trojans, making three starts. He had 21 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and two sacks.
The Vols gained graduate transfer receiver Velus Jones Jr. in January 2020, with Jones totaling 22 catches for 280 yards and three touchdowns last season, and they added kicker Chase McGrath in early February.
Tremblay arrived at USC from American River Community College in Sacramento, where he was a four-star recruit in the 2018 signing class. In his two seasons at American River, he tallied 74 tackles, 16 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks and three forced fumbles.
Washington leaves
Three-star defensive lineman signee and early enrollee Isaac Washington, one of four Vols who were suspended throughout spring practice due to a Stokely Hall incident in early March that resulted in marijuana and drug paraphernalia possession charges, announced Thursday that he was entering the NCAA transfer portal.
