2025 will mark the fifth football season for Tennessee under head coach Josh Heupel. He has compiled a 37-15 (20-12 SEC) record with the Vols from 2021-24.
Heupel guided Tennessee to its first College Football Playoff appearance in program history last season. He is also 2-2 versus both Alabama and Florida.
“Embarking into year five, as I was getting ready for today, I really rewound back to year one and how myself and our staff came to Tennessee and the adversity in which we took the program over,” Heupel said at SEC media days. “I’m really proud of what we’ve done, from roster management to some of the recruiting things we’ve had to deal with. It’s how I know our best is in front of us. What has crippled other programs in the past, University of Tennessee and our football program has been able to flourish. You look over the last three years, 30 wins, the most wins in Tennessee in the stretch of three years of Tennessee football since the late ’90s, if you look at the College Football Playoff, New Year’s Six bowl wins, you look at what we’ve done in the NFL draft. The best stretch of NFL draft picks in Tennessee in over two decades.
“While we’ve been able to have that success on the field, players have done an unbelievable job inside our community. Each year we’ve set a team GPA record in the history of Tennessee football. I’m extremely proud of what our staff and our players have done here in a short amount of time.”
Following SEC media days, media members voted on the order of finish for league teams in 2025. Tennessee is predicted to finish in ninth place.
Texas is projected to win the SEC and Georgia is second.
