If Sorsby falls through, Sam Leavitt could quickly emerge as a serious option, while the Vols also weigh whether to develop in-house with true freshman Fazion Brandon or stick with G-Mac as he continues to progress physically.We also break down the numbers behind several transfer portal quarterbacks, what they could realistically bring to Heupel’s offense, and whether Tennessee should enter a bidding war for a proven veteran outside of the DJ Lagway conversation.Plus, we react to Tennessee CRUSHING Louisville, what that dominant win says about the program’s direction, and how it ties into the momentum heading forward after the Music City Bowl.Portal chaos.
