Just a few months ago, a quarterback competition wasn’t on anyone’s bingo card in Knoxville. Following the bizarre departure of Nico Iamaleava though, that’s just what Josh Heupel has on his hands heading into fall camp.
Tennessee quickly jumped in the transfer portal to grab Joey Aguilar, executing a trade of sorts with UCLA to round out the quarterback room. Aguilar entered the mix back in May with hopes of getting up to speed in the offense ahead of fall camp. With that start date quickly approaching, it’s nearly time for Aguilar to show where he’s at during the first few official practices in a team setting.
