Two Tennessee players named to Walter Camp Preseason First-Team All-American squad

Exciting news for Tennessee football as two players were named to the Walter Camp Football Preseason First-Team All-American squad. Cooper Mays, the longstanding starting center, and edge rusher James Pearce received this prestigious recognition.

Mays, a key player entering his fifth season with Tennessee, has been an integral part of the offensive line since his freshman year. His consistent performance has solidified his role in the team.

Pearce, a standout as a true sophomore, has quickly caught the attention of NFL scouts with his impressive stats. With ten sacks and 14.5 tackles for loss last season, Pearce is poised to be a top pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.

Joining Mays on the offensive line are other talented players like Clay Webb, Tate Ratledge, Tyler Booker, and Will Campbell. This group will play a critical role in shaping the team's success this season.

With Carson Beck as quarterback, Ollie Gordon II and Omarion Hampton as running backs, and Graham Nicholson as placekicker, the Tennessee team is gearing up for a strong season ahead.

Defensively, alongside Pearce are players like Howard Cross III, Ashton Gillotte, and Tyleik Williams. Their collective efforts will be crucial in securing victories for the team.

Congratulations to all the players who made the Walter Camp Football Preseason First-Team All-American squad. Tennessee football fans can look forward to an exciting season with these talented athletes leading the way.
