The countdown is on as Tennessee football prepares for its much-anticipated home opener at Neyland Stadium against ETSU! The Vols have unveiled their depth chart for this crucial match-up and, despite a few recent injuries, they’re sticking with their star lineup.

Despite having to sit out, cornerbacks Jermod McCoy and Rickey Gibson III are still listed as starters. Unfortunately, fans will have to wait to see these talents in action as they will miss the game against the Buccaneers. Defensive lineman Jaxson Moi is also a no-go, but expect to see Nathan Robinson stepping up to fill the gap.

Key Position Battles Are Heating Up!

The depth chart shows some intriguing battles, especially at key positions. At right tackle, David Sanders Jr. is still the main guy, even though he missed the last game due to injury. It would have been his big college debut!

Looking at the center position, Sam Pendleton held it down during the opener, while Wendell Moe Jr. took on some versatility by switching sides at right guard. The running back position remains fluid with DeSean Bishop getting the first drive, but keep an eye on Peyton Lewis and Star Thomas as well.

Defense & Special Teams Updates!

In the defensive backfield, safety is the only position boasting two starters: Edrees Farooq edged out Kaleb Beasley during the first week, indicating the fierce competition within the squad.

As for special teams, Max Gilbert is the go-to place kicker, while Jackson Ross shines as the punter. Kick return duties are shared between Peyton Lewis and Duane Morris, making for an electrifying possibility of big plays!
