Tennessee pursues former Vanderbilt forward Jalen Washington

Tennessee has emerged as a frontrunner to sign Jalen Washington, a former forward at Vanderbilt. Washington, who stands 6-10 and weighs 245 pounds, was previously at North Carolina before transferring to Vanderbilt. He averaged 8.9 points and 5.6 rebounds last season. Recently, he received a temporary injunction for a fifth season of eligibility. Sources indicate that Washington's situation could progress quickly, as Tennessee seeks to bolster its frontcourt depth following a busy transfer portal period.
