Tennessee football\u2019s spring slate of practices is in the books. The Vols held their annual Orange and White Game on Saturday, marking the final spring practice. Now, attention turns to summer workouts before fall camp begins.<\/p>\n

While position battles will continue to be held in fall camp, we got a better view of what the roster and eventual depth chart look like for Tennessee in 2026.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s my prediction at this point in the offseason.<\/p>\n
