Joining transfer portal
Peterson placed his name in the NCAA's transfer portal Monday and is expected to leave Tennessee, 247Sports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The linebacker becomes the latest in a growing list of Volunteers to move into the portal following the recent firing of head coach Jeremy Pruitt. Even if Pruitt had returned in 2021, Peterson wasn't a lock to remain with Tennessee after he left the program in October to tend to a personal matter. Expect the rising redshirt junior to generate interest from other FBS schools after he recorded 12 tackles across his three years atTennessee.
