More bad news for the Tennessee Volunteers…
The Tennessee Vols received a harsh reminder this weekend of the perils of fall camp.
According to a report from VolQuest's Austin Price , Tennessee sophomore linebacker Jaedon Harmon will miss the 2026 season after tearing his ACL at practice on Saturday.

Harmon, 6-foot/225 pounds from Roma, GA, played in all 13 games as a true freshman for the Vols last season. He totaled 19 tackles with most of his action coming on special teams.
This is the second-season ending injury of fall camp for Tennessee. Vols cornerback Jadais Richard is also set to miss the 2026 season after suffering an upper bod y injury while working out last month.
Harmon, a four-star recruit in the 2025 class, wasn't expected to start for Tennessee this fall, but the Vols' linebacker depth obviously takes a hit with this news.

Tennessee is already set to be without senior linebacker Arion Carter for the first two games of the season due to a silly suspension from the NCAA .
This is a scary time of year for football players — in college and the NFL — season-ending injuries are unfortunately a daily occurrence across the sport.
