Checking in on the 2026 departures from Tennessee football at their new schools

Sports Illustrated has taken stock of the players who left Tennessee football in the 2026 transfer cycle, reviewing how each outgoing transfer has fared so far away from the program.

The review covers the group as a whole rather than a single departure, offering a look at what those players have done since moving on and what Tennessee gave up when they left.

For Tennessee, tracking former players at their new schools provides useful context on roster turnover. It helps frame how the current roster was reshaped, though the assessment offered here is based only on how those departures have performed thus far elsewhere.
