Transfer Tracker: Mohan commits to Tennessee
Mark Pszonak contributed to this report.
The transfer portal never stops grinding. More than a month after entering the portal, Michigan transfer linebacker William Mohan found a new home with a commitment to Tennessee.
Recruiting: Mohan committed to Michigan over offers from Ohio State, Penn State, Nebraska, Pittsburgh and Miami during the summer leading up to his senior season. He had already made a couple of unofficial visits to Ann Arbor before making his commitment during an official visit.
At Michigan: Mohan played in the season opener against Minnesota, but then did not see the field again. With defensive coordinator Don Brown leaving the program, his role as a "viper" no longer exists in the new defense.
Farrell’s Take: As an undersized linebacker, Mohan could play safety or linebacker which makes him attractive and his athleticism is excellent. The problem? He is such a 'tweener that many schools didn't have a position for him. A reunion with Brian Jean-Mary who coached linebackers at Michigan is a good thing and his ability in coverage will be a big help defending the middle of the field where the Vols have struggled.

IMPACT METER
The Transfer Portal continues to change the way college football programs recruit and manage their rosters so we here at Rivals.com continue to evolve our coverage. Each time a player of note enters the portal, we will examine their potential impact on the college football landscape and assign an impact rating, both when they enter the portal and when they choose a destination. The scale is from 1-10 and the description below explains the scoring scale.
1.1-4.0 — Not a big impact expected, likely a non-starter and down the bench depth player.
4.1- 6.0 — A solid impact can be expected in the right scenario and has the potential to battle for a starting job.
6.1-9.0. — A high impact player who won’t change a program but will certainly be a very good contributor and starter.
9.1- 9.9 — A very high impact player who should start the moment he steps on the field and will change the outlook of a program immediately.
10 — A franchise transfer who has a chance to be an All American and one of the elite players in college football.
