Lundblade (back) is expected to be available by the time the Volunteers begin their 2026-27 season, Grant Ramey of On3.com reports.
Analysis:Tennessee's head coach Rick Barnes recently announced that Lundblade is ramping up his running, increasing the stress of his runs to 190 pounds, nearing his full body weight of 216. Ever since joining UT, he has dealt with quite a difficult back ordeal, so much so that he underwent surgery for it during the offseason. The good news is that Lundblade is not expected to miss any time, so by the time Nov. 3 comes around, he should be ready to go against Wofford. Whether or not Lundblade returns in preseason action remains unknown.
