Tennessee backup quarterback Gaston Moore entering NCAA Transfer Portal
Tennessee backup quarterback Gaston Moore is entering the NCAA Transfer Portal after four seasons with the Vols. Moore appeared in 14 games dating back to the 2021 season, throwing for 273 yards and two touchdowns.
Moore transferred to Tennessee from Central Florida in January 2021, following Josh Heupel and his staff to Knoxville.
Moore played in six games this season. He was 4-for-4 for 94 yards and two touchdowns against Kent State on September 14 and went 7-for-12 for 69 yards against Chattanooga on August 31.
Moore replaced an injured Nico Iamaleava in the second half of the Mississippi State game on November 9, completing 5 of 8 passes for 38 yards.
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.

For Tennessee, the spring semester starts on January 21 which 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.
Tennessee has 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.
