Men's Basketball
Tennessee basketball added Vanderbilt transfer center Jalen Washington to complete its 2026-27 roster. The 6-foot-10 center, who averaged 8.9 points and 5.6 rebounds last season, brings proven SEC rim protection and pick-and-roll ability. Washington's eligibility was restored by an NCAA court ruling granting additional playing time to 2025-26 seniors.

Women's Basketball
Tennessee women's basketball is in summer practice integrating an entirely new 15-player roster under head coach Kim Caldwell heading into her third year. The Lady Vols welcomed three notable transfers: Maryland guard Kaylene Smikle (who averaged 17.9 PPG before a knee injury last season), Texas A&M forward Fatmata 'Fats' Janneh (11.4 PPG, 9.7 RPG), and Seton Hall guard Jada Eads (10.6 PPG before an ACL injury).

Tennessee baseball coach Josh Elander appeared on SportsTalk991 to discuss six Vols being drafted earlier in July and the program's offseason momentum. Elander praised the drafted players—including Evan Blanco, Henry Ford, Tegan Kuhns, and Garrett Wright—while noting the coaching staff's proactive effort to meet with draft-eligible players and their families before decisions were made. The Vols lost five players to the draft but remain focused on building team chemistry for the upcoming season.
