KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - Tennessee quarterback Joey Aguilar has won the starting job, Volquest first reports .

This has been the big question headed into the 2025 season, who would be the starting quarterback for Tennessee, and we finally seem to have our answer.

For the past three weeks at fall camp, Aguilar has been battling for the starting position with redshirt freshman Jake Merklinger and true freshman George MacIntrye.

Tennessee is off on Monday for the first day of classes and on Tuesday, head coach Josh Heupel is set to meet with the media.

The Vols are less than two weeks away from opening up the season in Atlanta on August 30th against Syracuse.
