Washington (0-4) opened its trip on Tuesday at Los Angeles and had the game tied at 55-55 after three quarters.

It was expected he and James Pearce Jr. would be the Vols’ edge rushers in 2024, but he had different plans. The former Vol has notoriously transferred to three schools since December, with the University of Miami being his most recent stop. Before committing to Miami, he committed to Ole Miss out of Tennessee before officially transferring to Louisville for the spring. Louisville seemed to be just a placeholder for Baron to go…
