LSU transfer offensive lineman [autotag]Lance Heard[/autotag] has reportedly found a home.

On Thursday, 247Sports’ Matt Zenitz reported that Heard was expected to transfer to Tennessee. We seemingly got confirmation of that move on Friday as Heard’s name appeared in the University of Tennessee’s student directory, according to On3’s Austin Price.

Heard was a true freshman in 2023 and a former five-star recruit from Monroe. He appeared in 12 of 13 games as the swing tackle this season, making one start at right tackle.

He was expected to contend for a starting job in 2024, but with both tackles returning in [autotag]Will Campbell[/autotag] and [autotag]Emory Jones[/autotag], he’s heading elsewhere.

Now it seems he’ll be staying in the SEC, though he won’t appear on the Tigers’ schedule in 2024 unless both teams meet in the conference title game.
