It’s been just over 18 months on the job for Josh Heupel and his program has seen solid growth. From being left for dead when he arrived to an overachieving bowl bound first year, the second year head coach is pleased with his progress on Rocky Top.
A second year has found its arrival and expectations are high thanks to a core group of returning stars led by senior quarterback Hendon Hooker. Entering the season on a number of watch lists, Hooker is ready to build on a successful 2021 season.

On the other side of the ball, Tennessee has added depth and some young playmakers ready to establish themselves. Heupel really likes his staff on that side of the ball and believes they have put in the work to see solid growth.
