Tennessee quarterback Harrison Bailey transferring to UNLV

Former Tennessee quarterback Harrison Bailey has found his next school after almost three months in the transfer portal.

Bailey announced he will transfer to UNLV on Twitter Tuesday. He posted "Let's ride! #UNLV" with a graphic that featured him in a UNLV uniform alongside the message "committed."

Bailey, a 6-5, 225-pounder from Marietta, Georgia, was a four-star prospect, according to 247Sports Composite, in UT's 2020 class.

He started UT's final three games as a freshman in 2020 but played only one game as the No. 3 quarterback in 2021, serving behind Virginia Tech graduate transfer Hendon Hooker and Michigan graduate transfer Joe Milton.

Both quarterbacks are set to return to UT in the 2022 season. Hooker's 31 TD passes to three interceptions marked the best ratio in FBS among quarterbacks with at least 200 pass attempts. He also set a UT single-season record for passer rating while leading the highest scoring offense in Vols history.

In seven career games with the Vols, Bailey passed for 594 yards, four TDs and two interceptions. He entered the portal on Oct. 27 with four regular-season games remaining.

UNLV had a 2-10 record this season and 2-6 mark in the Mountain West Conference.
