The Tennessee Volunteers present an intriguing scenario as they approach the 2023 college football season. According to most analysts, they are expected to hover around the periphery of the 12-team College Football Playoff, a projection subject to minor adjustments based on the performance of quarterback Nico Iamaleava.
Fans will have their first glimpse of the 2024 squad on April 13 during the annual orange and white spring game, which will be broadcast on SEC Network+. Due to ongoing construction at Neyland Stadium, the seating capacity is limited to 10,000. This marks the second consecutive spring game featuring a new starting quarterback, with the focus shifting from last year’s questions about quarterback Joe Milton III to the performance of Iamaleava. The attention will extend to the defensive unit and surrounding offensive components, as the Vols welcome back key contributors on both sides of the ball.
Notably, edge rusher James Pearce Jr. is already drawing early attention as a potential first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Additionally, Tennessee has strengthened its roster with the acquisitions of LSU offensive tackle Lance Heard and Notre Dame tight end Holden Staes through the transfer portal.
