The Tennessee Volunteers are set to open fall camp tomorrow, August 1st, and prior to the start of camp, Josh Heupel, Tim Banks, and Alex Golesh met with the media to discuss his football team. Below are our initial quick hitters from the outing.Excitement Jabari Small Jersey, Growth, Confidence, CompetitionMuch like Heupel has in many other press conferences, he dove into the excitement and growth that he has seen around his program during the off-season. The excitement entering year two should come with no surprise as the Vols exceeded expectations in year one. The growth is a testament to the work ethic that Tennessee has instilled in its players throughout the off-season. Each coach also discussed how certain players were coming into the building with different levels of confidence from last fall. You will hear competition several more times throughout this but each coach discussed how the players were challenging each other and making positive steps in terms of competition.NCAA Notice of AllegationsHeupel obviously cannot say much about this publicly at this point but he emphasized the ability to be transparent with recruits since the process started when he took the job in January of 2021, and how he felt that has led to positive conversations with recruits and current players on the team. The Vols nearly have this in the rear view as they have self-imposed several penalties already and worked hand-in-hand with the NCAA through out.No update on Bru McCoyTennessee is still waiting word on Bru McCoy, and Heupel did not offer much more than that, but he did reiterate that McCoy continues to work and be a part of what the team is doing moving forward. At SEC Media Days, Heupel said there was only one remaining hurdle to clear for McCoy to be immediately eligible.Team HealthElsewhere, the Vols will be without LenNeth Whitehead this fall due to an undisclosed upper body injury Ramel Keyton Jersey, but Josh Heupel believes his team is relatively healthy across the board heading into camp. Tennessee will get several key pieces back that missed the spring, including Kamal Hadden and Brandon Turnage, who will bring a lot of added depth to the secondary.Freshman RBsWhitehead being absent will likely lead the Vols to have to lean on one of their freshman running backs in the rotation, unless they are able to make a late add through the grad transfer portal, which is still an option at this point. Heupel reiterated that he feels confident in what both Justin Thomas and Dylan Sampson bring to the room, as they have been as advertised to this point, but they still have to continue to grow.
