Tennessee will kick off fall training camp Monday at Haslam Field.
“It’s football time in Tennessee, and I can’t wait to get on the grass with our guys tomorrow,” Heupel said. “I am really excited about the strides our players have made since the beginning of offseason. You guys have been around here a bunch, through the first quarter of our offseason strength and conditioning and the buildup to spring ball, the strides that we have made and the newcomers we got here in January. We have had more of those guys show up throughout the course of the summer. We continue to build accountability, connection and the culture we want to have inside of the building.
“At this point, everyone is extremely excited about hitting the ground tomorrow morning and competing extremely hard and growing individually and collectively as a football team. It’s hard to believe that in a month, we are going to be inside Neyland Stadium on a Thursday night, kicking it off in front of a national television audience and have an opportunity to start this journey on the 2022 season. I am really proud of what our players and staff have done up to this point, and I am really excited about what is going on here in the immediate future over the next couple of days.”
The Vols will kick off its 2022 season Sept. 1 against Ball State at Neyland Stadium. Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m. EDT and SEC Network will televise the season-opening matchup.
