Aaron Beasley previews Tennessee’s defensive matchup against Iowa’s offense.

Senior linebacker Aaron Beasley appeared in every contest for Tennessee during the 2023 regular-season.

The 6-foot-1, 225-pound linebacker recorded 67 tackles, 11.5 tackles for a loss, three sacks, one interception, four pass deflections and one fumble recovery in 12 games.

Beasley met with media on Friday ahead of the Vols’ matchup against Iowa in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl on New Year’s Day. He discussed competing against the Hawkeyes’ offense.

“I think they do well up front,” Beasley said. “I think the o-line does a really good job working together. I feel like they will show us some stuff that we really have not seen this year. They run a lot of 13-personnel and 12-personnel, and they will stay in that all game. I feel like that is a little bit different, stuff we really have not seen, but overall, I feel like they work well together and they do a good job for sure.”
