Tennessee Players Land NFL Deals After Draft, Extending Vols’ Pro Pipeline

Fresh UDFA contracts highlight Tennessee’s sustained production of NFL prospects.

Overview

Tennessee had five players drafted as the 2026 NFL Draft concluded, including Colton Hood, Jermod McCoy, Joshua Josephs, Chris Brazzell, and Tyre West.
Several Vols quickly signed undrafted free‑agent deals, with quarterback Joey Aguilar joining the Jacksonville Jaguars, Dominic Bailey the Houston Texans, Jalen McMurray the Tennessee Titans, and William Wright the Denver Broncos.
More post‑draft signings placed Bryson Eason with the San Francisco 49ers, Miles Kitselman with the Detroit Lions, and Jaxson Moi with the Los Angeles Rams.
Aguilar arrived in Knoxville after stops at Appalachian State and UCLA and threw for 3,565 yards and 24 touchdowns in 2025, though coaches flagged turnovers as an issue he must curb as he competes for a roster spot in Jacksonville.
Tennessee’s talent pipeline continues to climb, with four top‑150 picks in three of the past four seasons and a next wave that could include Wendell Moe, Daevin Hobbs, Arion Carter, Amare Campbell, TJ Metcalf, Kayin Lee, and Qua Moss.
