Rocky Top 25: Josh Heupel details Vols’ signing class

Tennessee football head coach Josh Heupel discusses the Vols’ 2025 signing class.

The first day during the early signing period has ended. The final day in the early signing period is Friday.

Fourth-year Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel met with media on Wednesday and discussed the Vols’ 2025 football signing class.

“It’s a great day to be a Volunteer and wear the orange,” Heupel said. “We had an opportunity to practice with our guys today, got some really good work, in particularly for our young guys, but the story of the day, obviously, is signing day. Love the group that we’ve signed up until this point. Great competitive makeup. Tough, smart, competitive individuals, guys that fit the culture of caring about the guy next to them. A lot of leadership traits, guys that are still playing right now as they’re chasing state championships, but the athleticism and the makeup of the individuals, couldn’t be more excited about what we’re bringing into this program.

“I want to thank the families that have entrusted their young men to us, and we can get a chance to be a part of their journeys and help them go chase their goals and dreams. I also want to thank our entire staff. You look at our scouting personnel departments, our on campus department and obviously our coaching staff did a tremendous job of finding guys that fit the traits that we want athletically but also finding the right makeup of the individuals that we’re bringing in as we continue to grow this program, so it’s a great day. We’re continuing to take steps forward and, obviously, excited about everything that’s going on inside of our program right now.”
