Vols Depth Chart Breakdown | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

Tennessee’s new season kicks off with a wild card at QB: true freshman Faizon Brandon, the 14th such starter in program history, stepping in without pressure to perform early. But don’t worry — DeSean Bishop is back to lead the rushing attack after his 1,000-yard breakout, while Mike Matthews and Braylon Staley light up the passing game. The offensive line sees big moves, including David Sanders at left tackle and a right tackle battle between Ory Williams and Jesse Perry. On defense, Daevin Hobbs (injury caveat) and Xavier Gilliam (Penn State transfer) anchor the front, joined by Jordan Norman (playoff pedigree). The linebackers are stacked with Arion Carter and Edwin Spillman, while cornerbacks Kayin Lee (Auburn) and Ty Redmond bring experience and upside. Safety TJ Metcalf and nickelback Qua Moss round out a solid secondary. All signs point to a loaded roster ready for Furman on September 5th.
