The football team for Tennessee in 2024 is starting to take shape as the Vols reported for the spring semester on Sunday evening.
A few well-known COVID seniors are coming back to make use of their additional year of eligibility. The transfers are here. Additionally, a few freshman in the signing class of 2024 registered early.
Spring practice is still two months away, so there may be additional roster adjustments.
In April, UT athletes will have access to the transfer portal. With schools starting this week, time is running out for the Vols to add new players via the portal. In the summer, more freshmen will arrive.
However, since that the squad is complete, it is reasonable to forecast the 2024 depth chart using the players currently on the roster. Let’s start here till spring practice reorganizes things.
