Tennessee Volunteers Football 2024 Pre Spring Roster (By Position)Updated Weight

[901 Orange]

I’m most excited about the DL. It’s gonna be nasty.

Me too that DL is absolutely loaded, We are at least 12 deep across the front 4

 

[bigl3327]

Agree. That LB position has a chance to improve its grade, though, depending on how young guys develop.

This is the most physically talented LB room that we've had since the Fulmer days, as a whole. I'm hoping that coach Inge is capable of maximizing that potential. We've seen glimpses of what a Tim Banks defense is capable of when things are clicking on all three levels. There just hasn't been the talent or consistency from all three groups at the same time yet. I think the talent is there now. It's just going to be young and inexperienced this season in certain spots.

Yeah Ed Spillman is a huge addition to that room.
I love the leadership of the BYU transfer but he has to stay healthy.

Carter, Telander, and Spillman are the future there.
If Elijah Herring can learn to plug better, then he will make a huge impact.

We need really talented LBs desperately in 2025 class

I’m not complaining about our 24 class overall, but I really wish we could’ve landed Cole.

Me to. BJM biggest problem was getting us deep at that position. But if you look at what we have it's really solid if we stay healthy. He landed studs but should've been able to land more

Don’t sleep on Jalen smith he was my favorite outta his signing class of backers because of how well he dominated GA high school ball… said he is having a solid spring our lb group has really high potential…

 

[SoullessGinger32_]

Updated. Okoye moved to defensive end

 

[VOLINVONORE]

It's a young inexperienced group so it's hard to tell but I do feel like this is a very talented and athletic group. It should be our best pass defense in Huep tenure so far

Our entire defense will be the best we have seen at Tennessee in years.

 

[KeyVol14]

Our entire defense will be the best we have seen at Tennessee in years.

Yes...yes it will. The D line should be among the nations best. Haven't seen that kind of quality depth in over 20 plus years.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Yes...yes it will. The D line should be among the nations best. Haven't seen that kind of quality depth in over 20 plus years.

I am also encouraged by our new LB Coach being optimistic about the old and the young guys in his room. Not playing the mealy mouth game at all.

Wish I had a better feel for our secondary.

The one thing that I've heard the most about the DBs is that this group is extremely athletic and a ton of speed. I definitely think it will be the best pass defense since Huep being here. But that doesn't say a whole bunch cause it's been pretty bad the last couple years haha

I wanna believe, just need to see it I guess. I believe the speed and athletic improvements, just hope they don’t get to the wrong place faster. Skill sets are so critical in the back. As is making the same reads. Hopefully the spring game will bolster my faith. Got some great receivers to cover.

Could be the best year over year improvement for defense in quite a while.

Experience in the QB room……

 

[SoullessGinger32_]

Updated weights for the roster. Enjoy!

 

[csheaton]

Chas Nimrod went from 196 to 220? Is that a typo? 200 maybe? Edwin Spillman 215 to 234? Whoa

Both are accurate. Nimrod changed his body dramatically this offseason while still maintaining his speed.

Goodness have we ever had that much TE depth?

If we have it's been a very long time haha

 

[csheaton]

Wow, that is very impressive. So we have two Bru Mccoys now. Blocking should be outstanding.

 

[SoullessGinger32_]

@WiseOlVol check out that DB roster. Pretty strong this year. Overall young but strong

 

[csheaton]

Every single one of our O-linemen are 300+lbs…even the freshmen and walk-ons. We have come a long way.

The size we have this year at every position is insane. We haven't been this big and physical overall since Fulmer days at least

Definitely. S&C is top notch. I haven’t been this excited for a season in 20+ years.

 

[orangebloodgmc]

I just hope that we give a few reps to QBs 2 and 3, in our games 1 and 3.

Oh we will definitely see some back up play this year. Especially with Nico
