UConn sophomore tight end Justin Joly entered the NCAA transfer portal on Nov. 30.
Joly has two years of eligibility remaining.
The Vols offered a scholarship to Joly on Monday.
“After a great talk with Alec Abeln, I’m blessed to receive an offer from the University of Tennessee,” he announced.
On Thursday, Joly provided an update on his upcoming visit to Tennessee.
“I will not be going on an official visit to Tennessee this weekend, things have changed and my weekend is now open,” he announced.
The 6-foot-3, 215-pound tight end recorded 74 receptions for 828 yards and four touchdowns from 2022-233 at UConn.
Tennessee defeated UConn, 59-3, on Nov. 4 at Neyland Stadium. Joly led the Huskies in receptions (eight) and receiving yards (89) against Tennessee.
