One of Tennesseeās biggest pickups in the transfer portal to this point has just become official. Jalen Haralson, a 6-7, 220 pound small forward from Notre Dame, officially put pen to paper on Friday morning. Haralson, a former McDonaldās All-American prospect, was ranked as the 25th overall player in the portal, according to 247Sports.
Haralson averaged 16.2 points and four rebounds last season for the Fighting Irish, earning All-ACC honorable mention status.
āWe are delighted to have Jalen joining the Tennessee basketball family and feel he is a superb fit here,ā Rick Barnes said. āJalen has tremendous positional versatility on both sides of the floor, which is a valuable asset.ā
Haralson is the 14th McDonaldās All-American prospect to come through the Tennessee basketball program. Heās expected to slide into a similar role that Nate Ament played this past season, one that eventually had Ament looking like one of the best players in the country.
Though Haralson will need to continue to develop his shot, his ability to get downhill and finish in the paint is special. We saw Ament really come into his own doing just that last season, and Haralson will bring more of that ability next season.
āHe is an aggressive, downhill driver who does an excellent job of drawing fouls and getting to the line,ā Barnes continued. āJalen can grab a rebound and get the break going, as he possesses a good handle, stellar passing ability and a high basketball IQ. He is well-suited for the pick-and-roll game and is also great at cutting to the rim. Jalen is looking forward to being part of our program and helping us win.ā
Rick Barnes expressed delight in Haralson's transfer, highlighting his superb fit and tremendous positional versatility.
Jalen Haralson averaged 16.2 points and four rebounds per game during his last season with the Fighting Irish.

Tennessee has replaced nearly its entire roster so far this offseason, but theyāve really yet to add a true point guard. VCU transfer Terrence Hill Jr. will have the title, but Barnes certainly could use Haralson in a bit of a point-forward look, using some of that versatility he spoke of.
Haralson joins Hill, sharpshooting guard Tyler Lundblade, big-time scoring guard Dai Dai Ames, rim protector Miles Rubin and depth post player Braeden Lue so far in Tennesseeās transfer portal class. The Volunteers will also return Troy Henderson and DeWayne Brown, while signing four prospects from the high school ranks.
