    Former Tennessee defensive back Wesley Walker has committed to Michigan. He initially entered the NCAA Transfer Portal in December and committed to Ole Miss, before ultimately heading to Louisville, before again reopening his recruitment prior to the Michigan commitment.

    Walker went through spring practice at Louisville before reentering the NCAA Transfer Portal .

    Over the last five seasons, Walker has recorded 184 tackles, 11.0 tackles for loss, two sacks and one interception in 45 career games.

    Walker’s Tennessee career ended with an injury in the loss at Missouri in November. He did not play in the final two games of the regular season, against Georgia and Vanderbilt, or in the Citrus Bowl win over Iowa on New Year’s Day.

    Multiple Tennessee defensive backs entered the NCAA Transfer Portal in December, including Warren Burrell , Doneiko Slaughter , Tamarion McDonald , Brandon Turnage , Jack Luttrell and De’Shawn Rucker .

    DraftKings on May 8 released early betting lines for five Tennessee games.

    The Vols opened as favorites against N.C. State and Florida and as underdogs for road games at Oklahoma and Georgia as well as the home game against Alabama, according to recently set odds.

    Tennessee opened as a 5.5-point favorite against N.C. State and as a 5-point underdog for the SEC opener at Oklahoma, with the Sooners making their debut as an SEC team after moving from the Big 12.
