Tight end Mychal Rivera (Santa Clarita, Calif./College of the Canyons) has committed to Tennessee. The 6-foot-4 240-pounder picked the Vols over Kansas State.

Rivera made his decision Wednesday night during a meeting with Vols' assistants at his home. He signed with Oregon out of Birmingham High in Los Angeles before spending this season at the College of the Canyons.

Rivera made an official visit to Knoxville last weekend.

ya, he wasn't going to play TE for us. The coaching staff asked him to switch to OT and he chose to go somewhere else. GL to him

That was NaDerris Ward. Rivera came here as a freshman, redshirted, and then tranferred before the season started.

thats right. Do we know anything about how Ward is doing. Seems like he was a pretty good athelete if I'm remembering correct. Possibly switch him ot the other side of the ball could be possible :?:

What could it hurt? He's not getting much PT at OL so might as well move him over.
