Spillman Shines on Field and Off | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

Tennessee linebacker Edwin Spillman is shining both on and off the field, earning a spot on the prestigious 2026 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team — one of just eleven FBS players honored for excellence in academics, athletics, and community service. Inspired by his own journey, he’s donated over 120 hours to causes like the Wan Fambul Foundation in Sierra Leone, helping families with food, education, and housing. On the gridiron, he led all freshmen in the SEC with 81 tackles in 2025 and earned Freshman All-America honors. Now a semifinalist for the Wuerffel Trophy — voted by fans — Spillman could captain the Good Works Team and become the next big name to carry this legacy forward.
