ATLANTA — Tennessee held court at SEC Media Days in Georgia on Tuesday to unofficially kickoff the 2025 season. Josh Heupel was joined by a trio of his players to discuss the off-season and expectations for this fall especially with a quarterback competition.

“We’ve been through it before,” Heupel said. “That’s here at Tennessee and different spots that I’ve been. At the end of the day, those guys got to continue to grow every single day. So being in the building, learning our offense, learning defensive structures, having an opportunity to go out on the field, work through it, grow every single day. They’ve done a great job in the weight room, but leadership, developing relationships with our guys, it’s constant growth for them. They’ve done a really good job in the meeting room being cohesive, caring about each other. I think that’s really important. Strength of one position can never just be one guy. As we’re getting to the backend of summer, certainly as we kick off training camp, those guys are going to have an opportunity to go compete and the best players are going to play.”

Then on the defensive side, Tennessee is hoping to build on the success they had one year ago with some key players like Arion Carter.

“I feel like coach Banks is going to put us in the best position possible to go out there and win behind our defensive structure. We trust him with everything we are going to do and we go out here and execute to the best of our ability,” Carter said. “Counting on all 11 doing our job at one point and having all 11 on one page. Going out there and representing our culture and our football team to the greatest way possible. I can’t wait to go out here and prove that this season coming up.”
