Wake Forest transfer guard Juke Harris committed to Tennessee on Monday. He has two years of eligibility remaining.
12th-year head coach Rick Barnes discussed Harris transferring to the Vols.
"We are thrilled Juke made the decision to join our program at Tennessee," Barnes said. "Juke is not only an explosive talent, but also a humble young man from a great family. One of the premier scorers nationally, he possesses the ability to put the ball in the basket in numerous ways, from all over the floor.
"Juke can take over a game and impose his will at any time. He is a versatile player who can handle the ball in transition and has the length to make an impact defensively. As someone we were familiar with from his high school recruitment, Juke was a primary target for us as soon as the portal opened and he fits well with the roster we have assembled."
The 6-foot-7, 200-pound guard appeared in 64 games, including 36 starts, from 2024-26 at Wake Forest. He averaged 14.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 28.1 minutes per game.
