The Tennessee Volunteers have picked up one of the most coveted college basketball players in this offseason’s transfer portal.
After making a run to the Elite 8 and ultimately losing to the eventual champion, the Michigan Wolverines, Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes has reloaded for 2026-27.
Tennessee has landed guard Juke Harris via the transfer portal. Harris spent the last two seasons with the Wake Forest Demon Deacons.
According to ESPN, he was the No. 6 player available in the transfer portal. 247Sports ranked him as the No. 8 player available and the No. 2 small forward.
“We are thrilled Juke made the decision to join our program at Tennessee,” Barnes said in a press release. “Juke is not only an explosive talent, but also a humble young man from a great family. One of the premier scorers nationally, he possesses the ability to put the ball in the basket in numerous ways, from all over the floor. Juke can take over a game and impose his will at any time. He is a versatile player who can handle the ball in transition and has the length to make an impact defensively.”
