Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel took his turn at the podium today at SEC Media Days in Dallas, previewing the Vols’ upcoming 2024 season. Heupel hit the main stage at the event for the fourth time as the head coach of Tennessee, looking ahead to training camp which is set to begin in just under two weeks.
Heupel was asked mostly about quarterback Nico Iamaleava, of course. His new starter and former five-star prospect didn’t make the trip to Dallas, but he was still unsurprisingly the focus of most questions.
Heupel was also asked quite a bit about his time at Oklahoma, thanks to the Oklahoma media now being in attendance for the first time. Clearly that matchup in September is going to be a huge storyline for the Sooners because of Heupel’s history with the program. It might just determine a spot in the College Football Playoff, too.
The full 27 minutes from Heupel can be heard below.
