KNOXVILLE — Tennessee added another wide receiver to its roster on Wednesday, as redshirt sophomore Miles Jones transferred from Nebraska.
The 5-foot-9, 170-pound receiver was rated the No. 44 athlete in the 2018 class on the 247 Sports Composite, and a three-star prospect who held offers from schools such as Georgia, Florida, Wisconsin and Kentucky.
As a freshman at Nebraska, Jones only caught one pass for 21 yards before missing the remainder of the season with a shoulder injury and redshirting. The Fort Lauderdale, Fla. native only played in four games for Nebraska in 2019 before electing to transfer.
Tennessee loses nearly all of its production from the wide receiver position in 2019, as Marquez Callaway and Jauan Jennings graduate and move on to prepare for the 2020 NFL Draft.
The Volunteers return Josh Palmer, Brandon Johnson and Ramel Keyton to the wide receiver room in 2020, as well.
