These Tennessee true freshmen will redshirt.

Tennessee football has concluded their season following a 42-17 loss against the Ohio State Buckeyes which means we can finally look into who can and cannot red-shirt.

specifically, the true freshman who will and will not be red-shirting. Keep in mind the protocols for being able to redshirt.

A player can only participate in four games as having one snap will count as a participation in that contest. However, bowl games, conference championships, and playoff games DO NOT count towards red-shirt status.

Without further ado. Below is the list of true freshman who will be allowed to transfer with their number of games completed.
