With fall camp just a little over two weeks away, who could be some second-year breakout candidates the Vols could have in 2024? Remember, James Pearce was a second-year player in the Tennessee defense last season and ended the campaign with double-digit sacks.

Brent Hubbs on Tennessee’s focus at SEC Media Days

“I think Cooper [Mays] will get asked more about Nico [Imalaeava] than he’ll get asked about his game. I think so much of this is going to be about Nico. For the players and for about everything. Keenan Pili is a good story but how many people are looking to write a feature story? Omari Thomas is an old veteran – not as old as Keenan Pili – I think those guys are going to get asked a lot about Nico. They’ll be some NIL questions for them probably about the locker room and all that stuff is probably where that focus will be. Or there won’t be a ton of interest in it. There will be interest in other teams and other players there.
