A former Tennessee wideout is back on the move once again. Chas Nimrod was a member of the Vols 2022 class, where Josh Heupel ended up beating out Illinois, Kansas State, Washington State, and Utah State for the 3-star Arkansas product.
Nimrod spent three seasons playing for Tennessee, where he totaled 29 receptions for 315 yards and a touchdown. After the 2024 season, Nimrod decided to hit the transfer portal, and he ended up at South Florida with former Tennessee offensive coordinator Alex Golesh and former backup quarterback Gaston Moore.
In 2025 at USF, Nimrod had a nice year, totaling 23 catches for 466 yards and three touchdowns in only seven games.
On3's Pete Nakos has reported that Nimrod is planning on entering the portal once again.

Former Tennessee WR Chas Nimrod plans to enter portal again
With Nimrod planning to enter the portal once again, he is likely to find a spot where he will have a significant role in 2026. It is possible that Golesh takes him at Auburn, as he is very familiar with his game. Auburn does have a pretty young wide receiver room, and a veteran guy like Nimrod, who knows the Golesh offense, could be a valuable asset.
With Nimrod having one more year of eligibility, he has an opportunity to put up a big final season for NFL scouts. A new landing spot could give him a better chance to reach his goals of playing on Sundays. Although it is somewhat surprising, he didn't want to stay at USF, given that Brian Hartline is their new head coach. Hartline is regarded as the best wide receivers coach in the nation.
In the end, another fresh start may have been needed for Nimrod.
