Tennessee lands USC transfer

Tennessee lands USC transfer.

Tennessee has landed a transfer kicker to its 2021 roster.

USC kicker Chase McGrath is transferring to Tennessee. The news comes after Vols’ kicker Brent Cimaglia entered the NCAA transfer portal.

The 6-foot, 190-pound redshirt junior appeared in 30 games since 2017 for the Trojans. He was 32-of-42 on field goal attempts, with a long of 52 yards, and 118-of-119 on PATs.

McGrath is from Newport Beach, California and played at Mater Dei High School.

He joins his former teammate and roommate Velus Jones Jr. on Tennessee’s roster.
