Tight End
TE1: Dominick Wood-Anderson, Jackson Lowe
TE2: Austin Pope, Princeton Fant
It’s pretty simple here: Dominick Wood-Anderson is the starter at tight end unless he gets hurt. Austin Pope has the most experience and isn’t an ideal second tight end, but he’s the best option right now.
Jackson Lowe, however, is very intriguing.
Aside from his fumble as he ran down the sideline, Lowe looked impressive in the Orange & White Game and has improved every day since Day 1 of spring practices. He may end up unseating Pope by the time it’s all said and done, but he will at least see playing time this fall.
Jacob Warren still needs to add some weight, and that’s a large reason why Princeton Fant is ahead of him right now. Sean Brown will join the fray over the summer, assuming he doesn’t move over to the defensive line.

Old born and bred Volunteer from the 60’s. Some of you guys are so blind. You talk about JG being in command and being consistent. When in his entire career has he been consistent in 21 starts ??? Two anomalies jump out, Kentucky and Auburn and 5 wins against nobodies from no where, 13 losses. But that is past, so the O & W game last Sat. JG looked bad for the first half and got it together in the second. But if you slow the tape, and depend on a whistle, he was sacked for a loss twice when he ran for yardage. He threw some great touch passes and he threw some horrible ones. Yes, he does not turn the ball over and is tough, wow. And that is the main deal. We can stay reserved and conservatively vanilla or give someone new a shot. JG is no manager, cannot adjust, cannot read. But he has had 4 OC’s and that is not his fault. The point I am trying to make to you guys is tell the entire picture. Not some lopsided one. And the two things you accused Shrout and Maurer of, inconsistency and awful throws. That is JG’s description to a T. I want JG in the Vol Hall of Fame one day. but he is so far over his head. We need a manager who can SPREAD the ball to the talent available, JENNINGS, Callaway, Woods-Anderson, etc…..
