Josh Heupel details Chas Nimrod’s body transformation

Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel details Chas Nimrod’s body transformation ahead of the 2024 football season.

Redshirt sophomore wide receiver Chas Nimrod enters his third season at Tennessee in 2024. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound receiver appeared in 15 games from 2022-23, recording 19 receptions, 194 receiving yards and one touchdown.

Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel met with media after the Vols’ first practice in fall training camp on Wednesday. He discussed Nimrod ahead of the 2024 campaign.

“He’s done an unbelievable job,” Heupel said. “One of the guys that we recognized during the course of our meetings yesterday. The summer that he’s had, how he’s transformed his body. It’s his body composition, it’s his muscle mass, it’s what he did in the weight room hitting PRs. He is a guy going into year three, his understanding of what we’re doing offensively and his ability to play inside or outside, play with speed and be decisive, be on the same page with the quarterback and have coverage recognition.

“Really excited about his growth and development in our program. Excited about what he did here on day one.”

Nimrod was listed as 6-foot-3, 196 pounds last season. He was 6-foot-3, 192 pounds as freshman in 2022.
