According to a press release from University of Tennessee Athletics, University of Tennessee head men’s basketball coach Rick Barnes announced Monday the addition of Juke Harris.

A 2025-26 Second Team All-ACC designee at Wake Forest, Harris joins the Volunteers as a junior guard with, based off current rules, two seasons of eligibility remaining.

“We are thrilled Juke made the decision to join our program at Tennessee. Juke is not only an explosive talent, but also a humble young man from a great family,” Barnes said.

Harris was one of the best players in the country as a sophomore last year, putting up 21.4 points per game to rank No. 14 in the country. The 6-foot-7, 200-pounder was one of just nine Power Six players to average over 21.0 points per contest and his 750 total points placed sixth in Division I. Harris is the seventh transfer to sign with Tennessee this offseason.
