Aguilar transferred to the Vols from UCLA after spring practices.
Tennessee’s quarterback competition was a topic of discussion Tuesday when the Vols took part in SEC media days at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, Georgia.
Tennessee redshirt senior defensive lineman Bryson Eason discussed Aguilar’s interaction with the team after transferring late in the offseason.
“Just trying to step in and be a leader,” Eason said. “Gaining guys’ trust around the building. To show he’s here for the team no matter what happens with whatever, and just be a good guy, and be one of those dudes to just be there for the younger guys and help them along as they get through this college journey, start their college journey.”
