Over every offseason, we see a good number of Tennessee football players either cut or gain weight by design. Some players are asked to get leaner to gain speed and athleticism while others are asked to put on considerable muscle.
While it doesn’t always show up in listed weights, sometimes it can be a sign of who is transforming their body for the upcoming season.
With the official 2025 roster released for Tennessee football, we get to take a look at whose attributes have changed. Here’s the full list of returners from last year’s College Football Playoff roster who have either gained or lost weight.
