The Tennessee Volunteers have been hit with a significant blow as two of their key veteran stars, wide receiver Jordan Harris and defensive tackle Tyler Brooks, have been ruled out for the entire 2025 season due to injuries. Harris suffered a torn ACL during offseason training, while Brooks underwent surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon sustained during a spring practice.
Harris was a standout on Tennessee’s offense, recording over 1,200 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns in 2024, providing a strong presence as a deep threat and a go-to target. Brooks, a dominant force in the trenches, was known for disrupting opposing offenses and recorded 8 sacks last season.
Head Coach Josh Heupel expressed his support for the injured players while emphasizing the team’s next-man-up mentality. “Losing Jordan and Tyler is a tough loss for us, but we have talented players ready to rise to the occasion. We’ve built depth, and now it’s time for the team to show their resilience.”
As the Volunteers prepare for the 2025 season, they will lean on younger players and transfers to fill the significant void left by two of their most experienced and impactful players. The team’s adaptability will be crucial as they look to stay competitive in the SEC.
