Redshirt senior Caleb Tremblay announced his commitment to Tennessee in April.
Tremblay played for USC from 2018-20.
The 6-foot-5, 280-pound defensive lineman totaled 21 tackles and two sacks with the Trojans.
Following the Vols’ third practice during fall training camp, Tremblay met with media and discussed his time at Tennessee.
“It hasn’t been much of a culture shock to be honest,” Tremblay said. “I would actually say Tennessee is a lot like where I’m from. I’m from Napa, California. We’ve got a lot of nature and trees there. It’s been a pretty easy transition. The guys on the team, everybody has been really nice.
“That’s one thing I want to say about the south — everyone is nice and welcoming down here, compared to California. The transition has been good and over the last three months, I’ve spent time getting my body right.”
Tremblay’s position coach is Rodney Garner. The USC transfer mentioned it has been great to play for Garner.
“He’s a real technician,” Tremblay said. “I feel like I’ve already made a lot of growth, even though we’ve just had three fall camp practices.
“Even in those three days, I’ve made a lot of growth as a player. I’m excited to work for him and see where it ends up. I’m going to show up every day and work.”
