MVC POY Lundblade commits to Tennessee

Tyler Lundblade, a 6-foot-5 guard who averaged 15.6 points per game this season while shooting 43% from three, will have one season of eligibility at Tennessee. Lundblade began his collegiate career as a walk-on at SMU before transferring to TCU and then Belmont, where he earned scholarship status and became the Bruins' top scorer.

Lundblade was ranked as the No. 16 overall transfer and No. 3 shooting guard in the portal. He received the Larry Bird Trophy as the best player in the Missouri Valley Conference. The commitment comes as Tennessee prepares for the departure of three players from its 2025-2026 roster.
