Caleb Herring brings SEC-caliber edge length and disruption
In the 2025 season, Caleb Herring was Tennessee’s most productive year yet, playing in all 13 games and posting 14 tackles, 6 tackles for loss, 4 sacks, and 6 quarterback hurries; across his Tennessee career he logged 25 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, 5 sacks, and a forced fumble.[4][14] At 6-foot-5 and 245 pounds, he gives a defense long-levered pass-rush upside and real edge-setting potential, with the kind of burst and motor that show up beyond the box score.[1][8] The big twist: he entered the transfer portal in January 2026 and later committed to South Carolina, so this is a high-upside, proven-rotation lineman rather than a long-term Tennessee piece.[4][9]
