Even if you’ve committed initially, it seems like the transfer portal never stops these days. Just like in the traditional recruitment realm, you see flips and decommitments on a daily basis these days. Tyler Baron, who switched his commitment from Ole Miss to Louisville this week, has demonstrated that.
Given that Tamarion McDonald and Wesley Walker, two of his former teammates, have already committed to the Cardinals, the move isn’t entirely unexpected. McDonald switched to Louisville after first committing to Ole Miss.

Baron just had a breakthrough season with Tennessee, assembling all the necessary components to create a formidable pass rush with James Pearce. At the end of the 2023 season, he had 10.5 tackles for loss and six sacks. Now, the 6-5, 250-pound defender will play his last season with the Cardinals, who just finished second in the ACC with a 10-4 record.
According to 247Sports, Baron was once a four-star prospect who is ranked just outside of the top 100 players in the class of 2020. Tyre West filled in for him during Tennessee’s Citrus Bowl victory over Iowa. Looking ahead to 2024, we should expect more of that from the former four-star prospect.
