Tennessee’s senior linebacker Aaron Beasley played in every game during the 2023 regular season.

In his 12 games, the 6-foot-1, 225-pound linebacker recorded 67 tackles, 11.5 tackles for a loss, three sacks, one interception, four pass deflections, and one fumble recovery. On Friday, Beasley held a media conference prior to the Vols’ Cheez-It Citrus Bowl game against Iowa on New Year’s Day. He talked about competing against the Hawkeyes’ offensive line.

According to Beasley, “I think they do well up front.” The o-line, in my opinion, performs a pretty fantastic job cooperating. They will probably show us some things that we haven’t seen much of this year, in my opinion. They will remain in that throughout the entire game as they run a lot of 13- and 12-person teams. That seems a little bit different, something we haven’t really seen, but all in all, I think they get along well and perform admirably.
