Tennessee football releases depth chart for 2024 opener against Chattanooga

No. 15 Tennessee football released its depth chart Monday for its 2024 season opener against Chattanooga.

The Vols play the Mocs on Saturday (12:45 p.m. ET, SEC Network) at Neyland Stadium.

UT beat Chattanooga 45-0 in their last meeting in 2019, but that result was vacated due to NCAA infractions committed under former coach Jeremy Pruitt.
