Jaxson Moi, a former defensive lineman at Stanford, has committed to Tennessee……..

       Defensive lineman Jaxson Moi from Stanford has been Tennessee’s second transfer portal pledge of the day. After spending this past weekend in Knoxville, Moi reaffirmed his preference for Tennessee over Washington.

Moi made the announcement via X on Sunday.

The 6-2, 303 pound defensive tackle is coming off of his sophomore season at Stanford. He will have two seasons of eligibility remaining to play in Knoxville.

The San Diego, California native was a three-star prospect coming out of high school, ranking as the 541st overall prospect in the class, per 247Sports.

Last season, Moi played in all 12 Stanford games, starting seven of them, including the final six games. Throughout the season, he was credited with 15 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, and 1.5 sacks. Moi was credited with 4.5 tackles for loss in his first season.

Kalen DeBoer’s departure from Washington for Alabama, where he was supposed to make an official visit, changed the course of his recruitment through the portal. Rodney Garner was able to enter Tennessee through that opening and add another large body to his room.

Omari Thomas and Omarr Norman-Lott will be back for Tennessee in the heart of the defence. Tyre West, Daevin Hobbs, Dominic Bailey, and Bryson Eason will all play a role.
