Roster Construction 2026

[cncchris33]

Kuhns, Brown, and Newstrom are three who are. I think Abernathy is the 4th. Clark is not.

I don't believe Brown is eligible as a sophomore. Graduated in 2024. First season was 2025 at Rice. Second season at Tennessee in 2026. He doesn't turn 20 until April, meaning he won't meet the age 21 requirement to enter as a sophomore.

Am I missing something?

Blaine Brown is a 2027 draftee not 2026.

Brown is not eligible. TN will have him for 2 years

Does anyone know which of the current true sophomores are draft eligible?

Tegan Kuhns and Chris Newstrom are both 2026 draft eligible sophomores. The remainder aren’t eligible until 2027. Both Abernathy and Mack were born about 2-3 weeks too early to be eligible, so UT gets them back in 2027. Brown missed it by about 8 months, and Clark missed it by 11 months, so both will be back as well.
