Sam Pendleton started seven games in the 2024 season for Notre Dame and entered the portal after the CFP title game. Here's what he brings to Vols.

Former Notre Dame offensive tackle Sam Pendleton commits to Tennessee from the college football transfer portal

The Vols are trending towards landing a veteran offensive lineman who started the first seven games of the 2024 season for Notre Dame at left guard. Tennessee is set to host the former three-star player, who comes with a do not contact tag in the portal, on an official visit. This sounds like good news for the Vols.

As expected when he entered the transfer portal with a non-contact tag, former Notre Dame offensive lineman Sam Pendleton has committed to Tennessee. His decision to come to Knoxville comes under a week after playing in the National Championship with the Fighting Irish.
