Tennessee is sending seven players to the combine this week, including quarterback Joey Aguilar and cornerback Jermod McCoy. Both Aguilar and McCoy are recovering from injuries, so their participation levels remain uncertain.
Here's a breakdown of when Tennessee's prospects will be in action:
- Thursday, Feb. 26 (3:00 p.m. ET): Defensive Linemen, Linebackers, Specialists DL Bryson Eason EDGE Joshua Josephs
- Friday, Feb. 27 (3:00 p.m. ET): Defensive Backs, Tight Ends CB Jermod McCoy CB Colton Hood TE Miles Kitselman

Tennessee's draft prospects are generating buzz, particularly Jermod McCoy, who is eyeing a first-round selection despite his ACL recovery. He’s been linked to the 12th or 13th draft spots, with Dallas and Miami both in need of young cornerbacks.
Colton Hood is another name to watch. His impressive performance at the Senior Bowl has elevated his stock, making him a potential first-round pick. This week could be crucial for Hood as he looks to solidify his standing.
Under Coach Josh Heupel, Tennessee has seen 17 players drafted in the last four years, including two first-round picks. Notable selections include OT Darnell Wright, who went 10th overall to the Chicago Bears in 2023, and EDGE rusher James Pearce Jr., who was picked 26th by the Atlanta Falcons in 2025.
