Projecting Tennessee Football’s 2025 Depth Chart As Winter Workouts Begin

Tennessee football began winter workouts last week and with the transfer portal officially closed for every team across the country, the Vols roster is largely set for spring practice.

The Vols return a number of key starters on both sides of the ball but do have an abundance of overhaul this offseason. They have to replace almost the entirety of their offensive line as well as a receiver core returning just one key player from a season ago.

With that in mind, let’s project what the Tennessee football depth chart will look like in Josh Heupel’s fifth season as winter workouts get under way.

One note, offensive guard Andrej Karic has not received word from the NCAA on whether or not his waiver for an extra-year of eligibility has been approved or denied. For the sake of this article we will assume he is not eligible because that is where things currently stand at this moment.
