With the addition of potential quarterback Nico Iamaleava via the transfer portal, Tennessee will get a formidable weapon. Chris Brazzell, a former standout wide receiver at Tulane, is transferring to the Vols, a source confirms to 247Sports.
Before deciding on Tennessee, Brazzell, one of the most sought-after receivers in the transfer portal, attracted interest from Washington, Colorado, and Houston.
This season at Tulane, the 6-foot-5, 215-pound Brazzell recorded 711 yards, five touchdowns, and an average of 16.2 yards per grab as a rookie.
In the Green Wave’s final two regular season games —wins over FAU and UTSA — Brazzell posted combined totals of 12 catches, 196 yards and three touchdowns.
The portal is an online database that players will enter their name into if they decide to pursue a transfer. Players notify their current school’s compliance office that they wish to put their name into the portal — typically, players’ names show up within 48 hours. Coaches have access to the database and can contact any player who has entered.

Technically, players can enter the portal at any time. But unless they do so within their sport’s official “windows,” they will have to sit out one season. College football has two windows: one following the regular season and one following spring practice. The fall portal window opens Dec. 3, one day after conference championship games. It will remain open for 30 days, closing at the end of the day on Jan. 1, 2024.
Prior to this school year, players had 45 days to enter their name in the portal following the end of the regular season. The NCAA amended that rule this fall, cutting down the window to 30 days.
