Aguilar hit the ground running after finishing up some academics in the spring, learning the playbook and getting to know his new teammates. That work all paid off this week when the senior quarterback was named Tennessee’s starting quarterback by Josh Heupel.

T he Tennessee Volunteers made their QB choice this week, as they will be giving the first start of the season to UCLA Bruins transfer QB Joey Aguilar. The Vols held a QB competition with three names to know, but ultimately the experience of Aguilar helped him gain the job, after what appears to be a solid camp.

Joey Aguilar is half of college football’s wildest flip-flops. The quarterback left UCLA for Tennessee after Nico Iamaleava departed the Volunteers in April for the Bruins.
