“I have entered the transfer portal,” High posted on June 2. “I’m indescribably grateful for my time at Tennessee. It has been a dream come true to put on the orange and white and represent this university for the last three years. I am incredibly excited for what the Lord has in store.”
The Vols went 38-22 in coach Josh Elander‘s first season. They went 15-15 in SEC play with notable series wins against top-10 opponents in Mississippi State and Texas. They were the only program in the nation to go unbeaten in midweek games with a 14-0 record. UT’s season ended in the Chapel Hill Regional after it reached the postseason for the seventh straight season.
