The 6-foot-11, 241-pound forward is from Scarborough, Maine. He was a four-star prospect in Tennessee’s 2023 signing class. Estrella appeared in 25 games during his freshman season, averaging five minutes per game.

He appeared in three games in his sophomore season and underwent season-ending surgery for a foot stress fracture in Dec. 2024. In his final season at Tennessee, Estrella averaged 10.0 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.

Three players from Tennessee’s 2025-26 roster are graduating: point guard Ja’Kobi Gillespie, shooting guard Amaree Abram and center Felix Okpara. Tennessee has three commitments in its 2026 basketball recruiting class: small forward Ralph Scott, power forward Manny Green and point guard Marquis Clark.

Two other members of Tennessee’s 2025-26 basketball roster also plans to transfer: power forward Cade Phillips and combo guard Clarence Massamba. Former Belmont shooting guard Tyler Lundblade committed to the Vols on April 1.
