Tennessee is loaded with blue-chip recruits. But half of the 2025 roster are freshmen. Here's the breakdown of Josh Heupel's young but talented team.

While Heupel gave no indication that anyone is in the front in the battle, Aguilar is likely the favorite to start Week 1 for Tennessee. After playing in the JUCO ranks at Diablo Valley Community College, Aguilar showed some big numbers the past 2 seasons at App State.

Tennessee practiced for the first time in fall training camp on Wednesday at Haslam Field. The Vols will continue with practices until their season starts on Aug. 30 versus Syracuse in the Aflac Kickoff. Following the Vols' first practice, fifth-year head coach Josh Heupel recapped Tennessee's performance.
