No. 18 Tennessee is holding fall training camp ahead of its 2025 football season, slated to kick off Aug. 30. Rankings reflect the preseason US LBM Coaches Poll.
'You start this journey as they come back in January through your winter, spring and summer,' Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel said of the Vols in fall camp. 'I'm proud of what we have done and what our players have done, the leadership that we have inside of our locker room, and now it's about taking the next step and taking steps every single day, competing to be our best individually and collectively as a group. We've got great leadership on this team.'
Heupel's roster in 2025 features four student-athletes who are 6-foot-7 or taller.
Redshirt freshman Jeremias Heard is the tallest player on Tennessee's roster this season. The 6-foot-8, 333-pound offensive lineman played eight snaps in his only game he appeared in during the 2024 season. Heard played left tackle in Tennessee's, 71-0, win versus Kent State on Sept. 14, 2024.

Three players, all offensive linemen, are listed as 6-foot-7 for Tennessee in 2025: redshirt junior Brian Grant, redshirt sophomore Shamurad Umarov and redshirt freshman Bennett Warren.
Grant enters his fourth season at Tennessee and has two years of eligibility remaining. He has played in 16 games and appeared on Tennessee's field goal and PAT units.
Umarov played a role on special teams and as a reserve offensive guard last season after appearing in four games as a freshman in 2023. Warren played in five contests during his freshman campaign and earned a redshirt in 2024. He played 40 offensive snaps and did not allow a pressure or commit a penalty.
