"He is a great addition to our university and our football program," Vols coach Jeremy Pruitt said in a statement.
The former four-star recruit, who was ranked No. 63 in the 2017 ESPN 300, played five games and made six tackles for the Wolverines during an injury-riddled 2018 season. Solomon, from from Leesburg, Georgia,, played 13 games and had 18 tackles as a freshman in 2017.
He was the nation's No. 23 overall prospect in his high school class according to composite rankings of recruiting sites compiled by 247Sports.
Solomon isn't a graduate transfer and thus would have to sit out the 2019 season unless he gets a waiver from the NCAA.
In another roster move, offensive tackle Devante Brooks is taking a medical scholarship that ends his Tennessee career. Brooks started four games at right tackle in 2017 but didn't appear in any games this season.
