Belmont transfer wing Cade Tyson is set to take an official visit to the University of Tennessee this weekend, as reported by 247Sports national basketball analyst Travis Branham. Tyson will be one of two transfers visiting the Volunteers, alongside Hofstra transfer guard Darlinstone Dubar. The weekend is expected to be significant for Tennessee, with the football team’s spring game and a crucial baseball series coinciding with the visits.

Tyson’s impressive performance in the All-Missouri Valley Conference earned him a spot on the All-MVC team for the second consecutive season. He played a pivotal role in leading Belmont to its 14th consecutive 20-win season, averaging 16.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game. Notably, Tyson excelled in three-point shooting, boasting a 46.5% three-point field goal percentage and making 80 three-pointers, earning him recognition among MVC leaders in various statistical categories.

The 6-foot-7 wing has garnered recognition in 247Sports’ 2024 transfer rankings, currently holding the No. 23 overall player and the No. 4 small forward position in the transfer portal. Despite being unranked in the class of 2022, Tyson’s outstanding performance as a true freshman, including being named the Missouri Valley Conference Freshman of the Year, has solidified his position as a sought-after transfer.

At Tennessee, Tyson’s visit comes at a time when the men’s basketball team has seen four players enter the transfer portal, indicating potential roster changes for the upcoming season. The Vols had a successful season, securing their 11th SEC Championship and making it to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament for the second time in program history.
