Jeremias Heard is a massive, intriguing Tennessee tackle with developmental upside
In the 2024 season, Jeremias Heard appeared in Tennessee’s win over Kent State and logged eight snaps at left tackle, a tiny sample but a real first look at a 6-foot-8, 333-pound junior with rare size and room to grow[2][12]. He was originally a defense-first recruit, and that crossover background shows up in his upside: long-limbed, physical, and still refining the finer points of offensive line play[7][15]. The appeal is obvious for a program that can coach big-frame projects—he looks like the kind of mauler who could become useful if the footwork and consistency catch up.
