Tennessee Vols Set for Media Spotlight at SEC Media Days in Tampa

Coach Josh Heupel and key players will address reporters ahead of the 2026 season opener

Tennessee Volunteers football will hold a media session on July 20 in Tampa, Florida, as part of the annual SEC Media Days. The event will feature Coach Josh Heupel alongside senior linebacker DeSean Bishop, wide receiver Arion Carter and defensive back Jeremiah Telander, who will field questions about the upcoming campaign.

The Vols are slated to open the 2026 season on September 5 at Neyland Stadium against Furman, a non‑conference matchup that promises to test the team’s early‑season readiness.

All of the SEC Media Days events will be carried live on the SEC Network, with a simultaneous stream available through the ESPN app and the SEC Network+ platform, though the latter requires a subscription.

The day’s agenda begins at 9:05 a.m. with SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey delivering opening remarks, followed by a succession of team presentations that run through the afternoon.

A Full Slate of SEC Presentations

Oklahoma’s contingent, led by coach Brent Venables and players John Mateer, Eddy Pierre-Louis and Taylor Wein, will speak at 10:05 a.m., while Missouri’s coach Eliah Drinkwitz and his group — including Cayden Green, Jamal Roberts and Nicholas Rodriguez — take the stage at 11:25 a.m. Kentucky’s coach Will Stein and his assistants Ty Bryant, Kenny Minchey and Willie Rodriguez are scheduled for a 1:30 p.m. session.

Tennessee’s own presentation is set for 2:55 p.m., rounding out a busy schedule that will give fans a first look at the new‑look rosters and coaching staffs across the conference.
