This year, just like last year, Senior Day is complicated. An extra year of eligibility is on the table for several Tennessee seniors, making the final game of the season inside of Neyland Stadium not so straight forward.
For a handful of players, this will for sure be it. ‘Super seniors’ — those that already took their extra season — will lace them up one final time in Knoxville, taking on in-state rival Vanderbilt. Velus Jones Jr., Theo Jackson, Matthew Butler, Ja’Quain Blakely, LaTrell Bumphus and Caleb Tremblay fit into that category. Each of those guys have been huge for Josh Heupel in year one, laying the foundation for Tennessee teams to come.
