Vols Jabari Small, Gabe Jeudy-Lally sign with Tennessee Titans as undrafted free agents

The Tennessee Titans signed former Tennessee Vols football players Jabari Small and Gabe Jeudy-Lally to contracts as undrafted free agents, the team announced on Friday.

They were among 16 undrafted free agents the Titans signed to participate in rookie minicamp beginning this weekend. Small, a running back, and Jeudy-Lally, a defensive back, were the only former SEC players on the list.

Small and Jeudy-Lally both had Tennessee connections before playing for the Vols. Small was a Tennessee Mr. Football finalist at Briarcrest Christian School in Memphis. And Jeudy-Lally began his college career at Vanderbilt.

Small rushed for 2,122 yards and 24 TDs, ranked No. 12 on UT's career list. He was the Vols' leading rusher in 2021 and ranked second in 2022 and 2023.

Jeudy-Lally played three seasons at Vanderbilt (2019-21), one season at BYU (2022) and one season at UT (2023). Last season, he had 41 tackles, four tackles-for-loss, one interception, one forced fumble and five pass breakups.

UT had three players selected in the 2024 NFL Draft: Running back Jaylen Wright (fourth round, Miami Dolphins), quarterback Joe Milton (sixth round, New England Patriots) and cornerback Kamal Hadden (sixth round, Kansas City Chiefs).

And nine Vols signed as undrafted free agents: Small, Jeudy-Lally, tight end McCallan Castles (Philadelphia Eagles), wide receiver Ramel Keyton (Las Vegas Raiders), tight end Jacob Warren (New England Patriots), return specialist Dee Williams (Seattle Seahawks), safety Jaylen McCollough (Los Angeles Rams), offensive lineman Jeremiah Crawford (Carolina Panthers) and linebacker Aaron Beasley (Seattle Seahawks).
