Tyler Lundblade is the final Tennessee player making the trip. He has had a fascinating basketball journey, starting as a walk-on at SMU, but he redshirted his true freshman season. From there, he transferred to TCU before eventually transferring again to Belmont.

Last season, he was the Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year, averaging 15.6 points per game while shooting 40.6% from behind the arc.
