Tennessee football is actively seeking a replacement for their starting quarterback for the 2026 season. With Joey Aguilar nearing the end of his eligibility, the Volunteers are making moves in the transfer market.
Tennessee Hosts Beau Pribula for Visit
The Tennessee coaching staff recently welcomed former Missouri quarterback Beau Pribula to campus. His visit aligns with the team’s need for a quarterback to bridge the gap before new recruits take over.

Pribula played a crucial role at Missouri, starting in ten games during his first season with the Tigers. However, he dealt with injuries that limited his availability.
Competitors for Pribula
As Tennessee considers their options, other programs are also eyeing Pribula. Washington and Georgia Tech are leading contenders for his commitment. Meanwhile, Nebraska has already secured its quarterback, Anthony Colandrea.
Alternative for Tennessee
If the Volunteers choose to pursue Arizona State transfer Sam Leavitt instead, it could be a more costly decision. Leavitt is currently exploring other schools, including Miami and Oregon.
Tennessee’s coaching staff, led by Josh Heupel, is in a crucial phase of recruitment to ensure they have a capable quarterback ready for the upcoming season.
