The 2024 season for the Tennessee football team is fast approaching, with the opening game scheduled against Chattanooga on August 31 at Neyland Stadium. The game will kick off at 12:45 p.m. EDT and be televised on SEC Network. As the head coach of the Vols for four seasons, Josh Heupel has led the team to three bowl games with a record of 27-12. Last season, they finished with a 9-4 (4-4 SEC) record.
As we count down to the start of the season, Vols Wire takes a look back at past Tennessee student-athletes who have worn No. 63 on the football field. From Norbert Ackermann in the 1930s to Bobby Neyland and Brett Kendrick more recently, this number has been associated with some of the greatest players in program history. The information sourced from the 2023 Tennessee Football Media Guide serves as a reminder of this rich tradition and history that continues to be upheld by current players today.
Stay tuned for more updates as Coach Heupel guides his team through their preparations for what promises to be an exciting season ahead!
