Joey Aguilar to Start as QB for Tennessee Volunteers

Tennessee is betting on Joey Aguilar to inject new life into their passing attack. After a stint at UCLA, Aguilar brings needed experience, having started 24 games at App State. Coach Heupel has consistently praised Aguilar’s ability to quickly grasp the offense and his leadership qualities. While Tennessee’s passing game has struggled recently, Aguilar’s skill set seems well-suited to their fast-paced, tempo-driven offense. He’s known for making quick decisions and isn’t afraid to take calculated risks, which could open up opportunities for Tennessee’s receiving corps. Despite some concerns about his turnover rate (24 interceptions over two years), the Vols are confident that their system will mitigate those risks. With the season opener against Syracuse fast approaching, all eyes will be on Aguilar as he looks to make an immediate impact.

Tennessee will release its depth chart for the Syracuse game on August 25. The team opens the season against Syracuse in Atlanta on Aug. 30 (noon ET, ABC) in the Aflac Kickoff Game. Tickets are on sale at AllVols.com&ref=yanuki.com.
