Vols enter 2024 with ‘deepest’ secondary under Josh Heupel
Tennessee will kick off fall training camp on July 31. 2024 will be the fourth season for the Vols under head coach Josh Heupel. Heupel discussed Tennessee’s secondary for the upcoming season at SEC media days on July 16 in Dallas, Texas. “Expecting those guys to play at a championship level,” Heupel said. “I love the group as far as their length, athleticism, play-making ability, their willingness to be physical, take on destruct blocks, tackle in open space, their care factor, their knowledge and understanding of what we’re doing, how they approach their practice every single day. I’m really excited about it. “I mentioned a little bit earlier, but this is the deepest that we’ve been within our roster, and that affords you to have the opportunity to have great competition every single day. That’s on the practice field. That’s in the meeting room. That depth becomes important as you go throughout the course of the season, as well. I’m looking forward to that group taking a real step here this fall for us.” Photo by Dan Harralson, Vols Wire
