University of Tennessee football player Austin Pope has entered the NCAA transfer portal.
Pope, a redshirt senior tight end, missed the entire 2020 season due to injury. He underwent surgery for a herniated disc.
He entered the NCAA transfer portal on Monday.

His entrance to the portal does not bind him in transferring. It does, however, give him the ability to contact other coaches and programs.
Pope was a star player at Christian Academy of Knoxville during his high school career.
The 6-foot-4, 235-pound tight end totaled seven receptions for 85 yards in 33 games during his career with the Vols. He started 14 contests at Tennessee.
