Tennessee Football Adds Colorado QB Ryan Staub From Transfer Portal
Ryan Staub, a former Colorado quarterback with two years eligibility left, joins Tennessee's 2026 roster to strengthen QB depth amid starter eligibility uncertainty.
- On Jan. 18, 2026, former Colorado quarterback Ryan Staub committed to the Tennessee Volunteers football program at Rocky Top, Knoxville, On3 reported.
- After pursuing portal options such as Sam Leavitt and Beau Pribula, the staff kept searching as Tennessee coach Josh Heupel acknowledged in December that UT needed a third quarterback.
- Staub arrives with limited starts but meaningful game experience at Colorado, playing 12 games with two starts over three seasons and completing 30 of 55 passes for 427 yards, three TDs, and four interceptions last season.
- The Tennessee Volunteers football program's quarterback room immediately expands with Ryan Staub joining redshirt freshman George MacIntyre and five-star early enrollee Faizon Brandon, ending the plan to move forward with only two scholarship quarterbacks.
- After visits to Cincinnati, Kentucky, Ohio State, Liberty and Tennessee, Ryan Staub was listed by On3 as a top portal quarterback and said, `I think I bring experience, IQ and a guy who's going to add to the room in any way,' Staub told 247Sports.com.
