Will McBride is Tennessee’s first off-season casualty. The sophomore quarterback announced his plans to transfer on Wednesday night via Twitter.
“I’ve decided it’s best for me to transfer from the University of Tennessee,” he wrote. “I’ve learned a lot in the last two years I’ve spent in Knoxville. I will always appreciate the memories I made and the relationships I built. Tennessee is a special place with special people. With that being said, I’m looking forward to furthering my academic/football career at another school.”
McBride appeared in two games as a freshman in 2017, making his first and only career start against Missouri on November 11th. He finished that game with 139 yards passing and a touchdown. He rushed for 63 yards.
His only other appearance came the prior week against Southern Miss when he completed one pass for 15 yards.
McBride was a three-star prospect out of high school and was ranked the No. 32 quarterback in the nation, according to Rivals.
He has two years of eligibility remaining.
