There are several unknowns on the Tennessee football roster entering the 2021 season. One of those is the tight end position, which the Volunteers got virtually nothing from during the 2020 campaign. Austin Pope’s sudden back injury in the late summer threw a wrench into things as Tennessee was forced to move to a backup plan.
Princeton Fant and Jacob Warren split duties at tight end, neither of which making a big impact. Together, that duo caught just 18 passes last season. Both return to the program this year, but now they’ll operate in Josh Heupel’s high-octane offensive attack.
