Player Spotlight
Bill PearmanTackle (1947, 49-51)
Bill Pearman was one of three All America selections from Tennessee's 1951 consensus national championship season. The two-year starter's position at right defensive tackle helped the Vols hold their opponents to 116 points on the season. Tennessee's defense pitched five shutouts in 10 games during the undefeated regular season and helped the Vols hold a No. 1 ranking for six weeks of the year heading into the Sugar Bowl. Tennessee was a combined 33-9-1 with Pearman in uniform, 28 of those wins coming in the final three years of his career.
Why I Wore the Number
Carson AndersonOffensive Line (2008-12)
"60 is important to me because it represents how long it takes to play a football game. The number reminds to go hard every minute of every game."
