The receiver has 3 seasons of eligibility remaining. Brazzell joins a receiver room in Tennessee that also features Squirrel White, Kaleb Webb, Chas Nimrod, and incoming freshman Mike Matthews . The Vols are also waiting to find out if experienced receiver Bru McCoy will come back after suffering a season-ending injury.

Brazzell is the latest player to transfer to the Vols, joining tight end Holden Staes and defensive backs Jakobe Thomas and Jermod McCoy.

This news comes just one day after the Vols inked a respectable recruiting class. Currently, the Vols have the No. 13 class per the 247Sports Composite ranking. The class is headlined by two 5-stars: WR Mike Matthews and EDGE Jordan Ross.
