TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS

Former Citadel Bulldog Kaylan Makan committed to the Volunteers on Monday after one season with his former team. Makan will be a sophomore next season. In his 2022-23 season with The Citadel, Makan averaged just 0.5 rebounds per game. He does not have a great sample size of playing time to look at from this past year, as he also averaged just 2.5 minutes a game.

In fact, the only two games Makan appeared in this season were a game against Morris College at the beginning of the season and a SOCON tournament matchup against Mercer. The Citadel lost that game 66-41, which ended their season.

Makan does become Tennessee’s fourth landed transfer over the last week, including the announced return of Santiago Vescovi. He is an interesting guard prospect at 6 feet and 2 inches tall and weighing 170 pounds. It is yet another large-sized guard who gets physical on the floor. This, as said before, is exactly head coach Rick Barnes’ type of player he wants in the Vols program.
