Sixteen Vols To Wear SEC Graduate Patch in 2022

August 30, 2022 | Football

A total of 16 Tennessee football student-athletes will wear the SEC graduate patch during the 2022 season.

The SEC introduced the patch in 2016 season for student-athletes in all sports who have already earned their degree but have not exhausted their eligibility. The SEC logo patch on their uniforms is replaced with a special patch with the word "Graduate" underneath the conference logo.
