Tennessee will kick off its 2022 season Thursday against Ball State at Neyland Stadium.
Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m. EDT and SEC Network will televise the season-opening matchup.
Redshirt senior tight end Jacob Warren met with media Monday ahead of playing Ball State.
Warren discussed individual goals for the season.
“You set goals and you’re trying to meet those goals,” Warren said. “For me, personally, I want to double my stats. Whatever I had last year, I’m trying to double it. I don’t have to necessarily get into the numbers, but just having a lot more production in the pass game. It’s tough because we are trying to roll guys so if (Princeton Fant) gets five touches a game and I get one, that’s fine with me too.
“For me personally, I think just playing my role as the guy that can be an all-three-downs guy and do it to the best of my ability. That’s really my goal. At the end of the season we’re looking to be in Atlanta, we’re looking to win championships and win rings. Those team goals are also personal goals for me.”
