Tennessee football is coming off an 8-5 season marked by a defense that struggled at times, missed kicks, and close games that slipped away. Even with the challenges of 2025, Tennessee has a rich history of talented players and national championships that keep the brand alive. The Vols remain a national powerhouse in many areas of the game.
