Josh Heupel 'looking forward' to having a great training camp with Chris Brazzell

Southeastern Conference football media days kicked off on Monday at Omni Dallas Hotel in Dallas, Texas.

Fourth-year Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel met with media on Tuesday in Dallas.

Heupel was asked about Tulane transfer wide receiver Chris Brazzell II ahead of the 2024 season.

“It’s always a luxury as a quarterback to have guys that have the ability to separate, create bigger windows, to have length, to go up and attack the football, have the skill set to defeat press at the line of scrimmage, let you get the ball out of your hands, not sit back there and take a bunch of hits,” Heupel said. “Chris is somebody that’s got a lot of talk about because of what he’s done on the field. Been a great teammate, but he’s been a dynamic playmaker up until this point as we went through spring ball, and his best is still coming.

“He’s continued to grow and mature physically. Just his strength, explosiveness, size to his frame, what he’s done since he got there in January, really excited about him and looking forward to having a great training camp with him.”

The 6-foot-5, 200-pound Brazzell appeared in 15 games at Tulane from 2022-23. He recorded 45 receptions, 722 receiving yards and five touchdowns for the Green Wave.
