The Tennessee Volunteers have some real question marks heading into the 2026 college football season — such as the quarterback position — but the team has some legitimate strengths, too.

ESPN named the biggest strength for each preseason top 25 college football team this week and their choice for the Tennessee Vols should be very exciting for fans on Rocky Top.

To win a championship in college football, you have to be elite in the trenches — there’s no other way.

That’s why Vols fans should feel encouraged that ESPN named the offensive line as Tennessee’s biggest strength heading into the 2026 season.

What ESPN says about Tennessee’s offensive line

The Vols are returning the bulk of their starting offensive line in 2026, minus offensive tackle Lance Heard, who transferred to Kentucky earlier this offseason.

This group has a little bit of everything. Freshman All-America tackle David Sanders Jr. is back, along with Sam Pendleton, Wendell Moe Jr., and Shamurad Umarov. Josh Heupel also made some key additions via the portal in and (), as well as freshmen in Gabriel Osenda and Kamari Blair. Whoever winds up playing quarterback should feel good about the abundance of talent in front of him.
