KNOXVILLE – Without playing a single snap for the Vols, quarterback Kasim Hill is transferring from Tennessee.
Hill is no longer listed on Tennessee’s football roster and his player bio has been removed from UTSports.com, Tennessee athletics’ official website.
A former Maryland transfer who came to Knoxville as a walk-on, Hill was thought to be part of the Vols’ six-man quarterback battle going into the 2020 season.
Hill came to the Vols after a 2018 season at Maryland that ended in injury, but saw him throw for 1,083 yards, nine touchdowns and four interceptions in 10 games for the Terrapins.
The former 4-star prospect redshirted in 2019 with the Vols, and would have continued to get practice reps throughout spring practice in 2020 before the shutdown due to COVID-19.
Tennessee does not lose a scholarship player with Hill’s departure, but does lose a member of the quarterback room with extended experience as a Power Five starter.
The Vols have five scholarship quarterbacks on the roster, in Jarrett Guarantano, Harrison Bailey, Brian Maurer, J.T. Shrout and Jimmy Holiday.
