Joey Aguilar News: Set to be named starter

Aguilar is set to be named the starter for Tennessee heading into the 2025 season, per Matt Zenitz of 247Sports.com.

Aguilar will start for the Volunteers after transferring in from Appalachian State in the offseason. The update doesn't necessarily come as a surprise as Aguilar has been presumed the leader for the starting gig for the last week or so, but it appears his play has finalized the decision for the Tennessee coaching staff. Fellow signal-caller Jake Merklinger will likely serve as the primary backup.
