Redshirt sophomore WR with size and untapped upside at Tennessee
Ben Petermann enters the 2026 season as a 6-foot-3, 208-pound sophomore receiver for Tennessee after redshirting his true freshman year, so the appeal is projection, not box-score fireworks yet.[11] He brings a bigger frame than a typical slot-style gadget guy and a multi-sport background from Rolling Meadows High, where he totaled 985 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns in 2022, which hints at real catch-point and body-control upside.[11] If you want a developmental WR with SEC-caliber size, academic maturity, and room to grow into a role, he’s a worthwhile stash; if you need proven production right now, he’s still more promise than résumé.[11]
