The Tennessee Volunteers are flying under the radar this offseason according to college football analyst Greg McElroy.
The Tennessee Volunteers are looking to improve upon what occurred a season ago. The program jumped into the 2023 college football season with high expectationsthat jolted some momentum within the program. The Volunteers are shaping up to be one of the better teams in the conference, but aren't exactly garnering a lot of buzz in the media.feels that Tennessee is flying under the radar a bit this season when in reality, they might be one of the more complete football teams in the conference.
"I look at Tennessee and while I think Tennessee fans are bullish about a possible playoff spot, I don't feel like Tennessee's really captured the nation's attention," said McElroy. "Kind of like what we talked about with Georgia. There isn't really a quarterback competition. There aren't a ton of question marks that you have on defense."and a star player on the defensive side of the football in the form of James Pearce Jr.
"I think most people would have Tennessee fifth in the SEC, maybe sixth coming into the season, depending on how you want to shake things out between Texas, Bama, Georgia, LSU, Missouri, Ole Miss, and Tennessee," McElroy said. "That's probably your top seven. Tennessee, I feel like, is way on down the list as far as the amount of coverage they're getting this offseason.
