Andrew Duncan, a 20‑year‑old outfielder from Dunedin, Florida, announced his commitment to the University of Tennessee baseball program on Tuesday, securing his spot through the NCAA transfer portal.
A strategic addition for the Vols
Duncan’s college career began at Florida State before he transferred to Wright State, where he emerged as a standout in his junior year, posting a .367/.436/.577 slash line with six home runs, 11 doubles, eight triples and 36 RBIs.
Known for his elite speed, he stole 19 bases in 22 attempts last season, a trait that attracted the attention of Tennessee’s coaching staff looking to revamp the outfield.
The Vols have placed a premium on centerfield this offseason, and Duncan is expected to slide into that position, providing both defensive stability and a dynamic presence at the top of the lineup.
His arrival coincides with a busy transfer portal period for Tennessee, which has welcomed seven new players, including Duncan, while 16 existing Vols have entered the portal and several have signaled intentions to return next season.
Although Duncan is eligible for the MLB Draft, scouts currently view him as a developmental prospect rather than a top‑tier prospect, leaving his immediate future in college baseball as the primary focus.
The move underscores Tennessee’s aggressive recruitment strategy, aiming to blend experienced transfers with home‑grown talent as the program looks to climb the SEC rankings.
