One of the best names in the transfer portal, Juke Harris, has finally picked his destination.
And it’s great news for the Tennessee Volunteers.
After a long transfer recruitment process, Harris has picked the Vols. ESPN’s Jeff Borzello reported the news on Monday morning.
“Another massive add — and even more offense — for Rick Barnes’ portal haul,” Borzello writes.
One of the best players in the portal, Harris held out longer than most of the top targets to decide where he’d be heading.
In the end, he chose Knoxville.
Harris averaged 21.4 points and 6.5 rebounds per game in the 2025-26 season for Wake Forest.
He also shot 33% from 3-point range on 7.5 attempts per game — a solid enough rate at high volume, and he might get more open looks on a better team.
“The 6-foot-7, 200-pound sophomore can operate as a dangerous off-movement shooter who showed his feel for the game as a cutter, slasher, rebounder and secondary creator,” Isaac Trotter of CBS Sports wrote earlier this offseason. “Harris can play in pick-and-rolls, but he’s most dangerous off the ball. His counting stats will likely go down next year, but the all-around impact will be clear as day.”
Barnes has developed Tennessee into a consistently excellent bunch under his watch, and getting a guy like Harris this late in the portal process will only help the cause of keeping the standard for the Volunteers as high as can be.
