Tennessee OL Rebuild Starts Now | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

Tennessee’s offensive line faces a major overhaul with five key starters gone, but don’t panic—it’s not a full rebuild. Freshman QB Faizon Brandon needs protection fast, starting Sept. 5 against Furman, and the returning core—Sam Pendleton, Jesse Perry, Wendell Moe Jr., Shamurad Umarov, and David Sanders Jr.—bring crucial experience and depth. Sanders Jr., in particular, has breakout potential after a strong freshman season. With newcomers like Ory Williams and Donovan Haslam stepping up, this group is poised to anchor the line now and build for the future, even beyond 2026.
