Tennessee’s 6-foot-5, multi-year walk-on who brought leadership, size, and off-field value
In the 2022 season, Grant Frerking was a redshirt senior wide receiver for Tennessee, listed at 6-foot-5 and 224 pounds, and was described by the program as a leadership-council player and consummate teammate. His on-field production was minimal, with only 1 catch for 4 yards in 2022, so the real appeal was his size, maturity, and the intangible value he brought to the locker room and NIL-era culture. He looks more like a culture fit and developmental depth piece than a stat-sheet mover.
