Spillman’s Impact On and Off the Field | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

Tennessee linebacker Edwin Spillman is blazing trails both on and off the field, earning a spot on the prestigious 2026 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team — the first Vols player to do so since 2007. With over 120 hours of community service and using his NIL funds to support the Wan Fambul Foundation in Sierra Leone, he’s helping families with food, education, housing, and child welfare. His humanitarian efforts have also made him a Wuerffel Trophy semifinalist, honoring the legacy of Danny Wuerffel. Fans can vote until November 3rd to help choose the winner, announced December 11th. Meanwhile, Spillman dominates on defense, leading all freshmen in tackles last season as a Freshman All-American — proving excellence isn’t limited to one arena.
