Quarterback Hendon Hooker transferred to Tennessee from Virginia Tech on Thursday.
Hooker will have two years of eligibility remaining and can play immediately.
“We look forward to Hendon joining the Tennessee football family this semester,” Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt said. “Hendon is a very talented and dynamic quarterback with multiple years of Power Five experience.
“He will be a great addition to our quarterback room and make a positive impact with two years of eligibility remaining.”
Hooker totaled 2,894 passing yards, 22 touchdowns, seven interceptions and 1,033 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns during his Virginia Tech career.
He appeared in eight games, starting six contests in 2020 for the Hokies, while dealing with injuries late in the season.
Hooker completed 65 percent of his passes last season, totaling 1,339 yards, nine touchdowns and five interceptions. The graduate transfer also rushed for 620 yards and nine touchdowns.
