The Tennessee Volunteers have added forward Jaylen Carey from Vanderbilt through the transfer portal for their second new player in as many days.
Coach Rick Barnes announced Carey’s arrival Tuesday with two seasons of eligibility left. Carey spent this past season at Vanderbilt after following Coach Mark Byington from James Madison to the Southeastern Conference.
Carey helped Vanderbilt make the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2017. The 6-foot-8 forward averaged 8 points and 5.7 rebounds in 21.9 minutes in 18 SEC games. He had two of his best games against Tennessee.
Barnes announced the addition of guard Ja’Kobi Gillespie from Maryland on Monday.
