Tennessee football’s Saturday afternoon matchup against UTEP was its final home game of the season. That means that a number of Tennessee players ran through the T for the final time as part of Senior Day.
The Vols had 24 total players go through Senior Day festivities including three redshirt juniors with eligibility remaining, six seniors that have one more year of eligibility remaining and 15 seniors who are out of eligibility.
Just because a player with eligibility goes through Senior Day does not mean that they won’t use their final year of eligibility. Last season, a number of Tennessee players went through Senior Day before returning for another season including Bru McCoy, Cooper Mays, Omari Thomas and Omarr Norman-Lott.
One senior who is out of eligibility but did not go through Senior Day festivities in Andrej Karic. The starting right guard could end up appealing to the NCAA for another year of eligibility.
With that, let’s take a look at the Tennessee players that did go through Senior Day festivities.
