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.

Kelsey Pope discusses wide receivers Chas Nimrod and Kaleb Webb during fall camp.

Tennessee will kick off its 2023 season on Sept. 2.

The Vols will play Virginia at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. Kickoff is slated for noon EDT and will be televised by ABC.

Following Tennessee’s seventh practice during fall training camp, wide receivers coach Kelsey Pope met with media. Pope discussed wide receivers Chas Nimrod and Kaleb Webb.

“Those two have been very impressive, both though in their own separate ways,” Pope said. “Kaleb is a bigger body, big catch radius, strong, powerful kid. Chas is more agile and very twitchy, but both of those guys have been exceptional.

“My job for those two, they haven’t seen this thing before on our level, so I have to get those guys consistent. Right now, you see flashes all over the place from both of them. Right now, it’s my job to get those guys more consistent so they are making plays consistently. You see it more on a first-second-third down basis, it is not just showing one series to the next.”

Nimrod enters his second season with the Vols. The redshirt freshman appeared in two games and did not record any statistics in 2022. He played in eight offensive snaps versus Vanderbilt and 18 against UT Martin.

Webb enters his second season at Tennessee. He played in three games (Ball State, UT Martin, Vanderbilt) and did not record any statistics last season.
