				  Not starting season opener
Merklinger will start the season as a backup for the Volunteers, per Matt Zenitz of 247Sports.com.
				  ANALYSIS
Merklinger has been locked in a position battle for the starting role with fellow signal-caller Joey Aguilar throughout the offseason, but Aguilar is set to start the 2025 season for Tennessee. Merklinger will likely begin the season as the primary backup for the Volunteers.
