KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The opening spring of the Josh Heupel era at Tennessee is set to get underway on Thursday afternoon as the Volunteers will go through the first of 15 football workouts.

Heupel, who orchestrated offensive juggernauts at Missouri and UCF, begins his fourth season as a head coach and first at Tennessee. A 2018 National Coach of the Year finalist, Heupel posted a 28-8 record in three seasons at UCF, including a stellar 20-5 mark in conference play.

Following Thursday’s practice (approximately 6 p.m. ET), Heupel will speak to the media about the first practice and the excitement of his first spring in Knoxville.

The Vols will practice again Saturday morning before going through three practices next week leading up to Easter. Spring football culminates with the Chevrolet Orange & White Game at 4 p.m. ET on Saturday, April 24 in Neyland Stadium. Further details about the spring game in accordance with ongoing COVID-19 protocols will be announced soon.
