The Tennessee Volunteers need to answer these questions during fall camp ahead of the 2024 college football season.
Fall camp is starting up around college football which also means that college football is nearing its return once again. The Tennessee Volunteers are on the verge of what many expect to be an exciting season. Edge rusher James Pearce Jr. is back on defense, former five-star quarterback Nico Iamaleava is slated to be the full-time starter for the first time in his career and the Volunteers have playoff potential this season.
If Tennessee can show signs of improvement in the secondary in fall camp this year, pairing that up withcould be a recipe for a reliable defense in the conference. If not, it could be another season when the Volunteers have to rely on being a strong defense against the run and hope that offsets any questions in the secondary.Fans got their first full look at Iamaleava during the Citrus Bowl at the end of the season last year and he was impressive.
If Iamaleava is season-ready before week one even rolls around, that would be the case scenario. The quicker head coach Josh Heupel can have his offense ready and rolling this year, the better off his program will be as that is the focal point and identity of the Volunteers.One of the biggest names in the 2024 recruiting class was Mike Matthews out of Parkview High School in the state of Georgia.
Matthews showed his potential to be a vertical threat during Tennessee's spring game and if he can spark some explosiveness in this offense, it will make the Volunteers a very potent offense. They do return a lot of key pieces in the receiving room such as Bru McCoy, Squirrel White and Dont'e Thornton Jr., but if Matthews asserts himself in that rotation early and often, it could be massive for the Volunteers.
