Former Stanford quarterback Keller Chryst is headed to Tennessee as a graduate transfer, according to multiple reports.

Chryst, a part-time starter for the Cardinal the last two seasons, is expected to graduate from Stanford this summer and be immediately eligible to play this fall. He would have one season of eligibility remaining with the Volunteers, who are now coached by former Alabama defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt.

Chryst -- the son of longtime NFL assistant coach Geep Chryst and the nephew of Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst -- appeared to confirm his decision via Twitter late Thursday:

The 6-foot-5, 234-pound Chryst was a four-star recruit in the Class of 2014. He was rated the No. 3 pocket passer in the country coming out of Palo Alto (Calif.) High School, according to 247 Sports composite.

Chryst went 6-0 as a starter at Stanford in 2016, but lost his job to K.J. Costello after being injured against UCLA in the fourth game of the 2017 season. He completed 55.4 percent of his passes in three seasons with the Cardinal, throwing for 1,926 yards and 19 touchdowns with six interceptions.

Tennessee has a major need at quarterback, with former starter Quentin Dormady having announced plans to transfer. Rising junior Jarrett Guarantano, who took over for Dormady late in the season, and redshirt freshman Will McBride will be the Volunteers' only scholarship quarterbacks during spring practice.

Tennessee also reportedly pursued East Carolina graduate transfer Gardner Minshew, but Minshew elected to commit to Alabama.
