Jarrett Guarantano entered the NCAA’s transfer portal on Saturday. The Tennessee quarterback entered the portal as a graduate following his team’s 34-13 loss to No. 5 Texas A&M. He did not appear in the game.
Guarantano, a fifth-year senior, will be eligible to play immediately, regardless of his destination. He has an additional year of eligibility because the NCAA is not counting the 2020 season against current players.
In a statement on Twitter, Guarantano said he is leaving options on the table, specifically weighing another year of college football and possibly declaring for the NFL Draft.
Guarantano threw for 1,112 yards and six touchdowns with four interceptions this season. He lost the starting job to Harrison Bailey, who finished the season as Tennessee’s starter. JT Shrout also appeared in Saturday’s loss and led Tennessee with 104 pass yards.
Guarantano started 25 games in his first three seasons at Tennessee. With the Vols, he recorded 6,174 pass yards with 38 touchdowns and 17 interceptions, completing 61.1% of his passes.
