Tennessee running back Cam Seldon to enter NCAA Transfer Portal
Tennessee sophomore running back Cam Seldon plans to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal and explore opportunities elsewhere. Seldon has played in 19 games in his two seasons with the Vols.
Seldon was a four-star athlete out of the state of Virginia before arriving in Knoxville in January 2023. He has run for 224 yards in limited action over the last two seasons. He stepped up to end the 2023 season as the backup to Dylan Sampson in the Citrus Bowl, running for 55 yards on 13 carries in a win over Iowa.
Seldon underwent shoulder surgery during spring practice 2024 but was able to work his way back for 2024 opener. He was also a solid member of Tennessee’s special teams coverage unit during his time in Knoxville.
Understanding the NCAA Transfer Portal
The winter transfer portal window runs from December 9-28. The spring portal window runs from April 16-25.
Players don’t have to pick a school they are going to during those specific dates but those are the span of dates on when a player can enter the portal.
Those dates don’t apply to graduate transfers who can enter the portal whenever they wish. Also, if there’s a head coaching change, their players are granted an immediate 30-day window during which they can enter the portal.
Of note, any team playing in a game after Dec 28 (playoffs or regular bowl) gets a five-day window once season ends for those player to enter portal.
So, say a team loses in the CFP first round on Dec 20/21? Their transfer portal window wouldn’t be affected as the regular window ends more than five days after that loss.

Players who enter the portal in the winter window are trying to be somewhere for the spring semester.
For Tennessee the spring semester starts on January 21which is late compared to many schools around the country. Tennessee a year ago started a winter mini-term class that runs the first three weeks of January.
Vols have benefitted from the NCAA Transfer Portal
The transfer portal can giveth and it can taketh away. For Josh Heupel it’s been much more of a positive than a negative for the Vols when you look at the 2024 season.
Left tackle Lance Heard has been a fixture on an offense line that has helped the Vols rush for over 2700 yards. Tight end Miles Kitselman has been a terrific portal grab because he is the leader of the tight end room. A room that also includes transfer Holden Staes.
Defensively, Jermod McCoy has been the best transfer Tennessee has gotten. McCoy is having an All-American season.
In total, Tennessee added 10 transfers for the current 2024 roster.
