Tennessee received some big news early in the offseason, learning that veteran tight end Jacob Warren would be returning for another season on Rocky Top. Warren, a local product from Farragut, is actually entering his sixth spring period with the Volunteers, thanks to his use of his COVID year of eligibility.
Warren tag-teamed with Princeton Fant last season, helping to lead Tennessee to their best season in 20 years. Now with Fant gone, Warren felt like his chance to bring continuity back to the offense was important enough for him to stick around. Now a redshirt-super-senior, the six-year vet will provide the offense with some needed leadership while returning to an expanded role as a tight end.
