Josh Heupel discusses Cameron Seldon’s role during spring practices

Cameron Seldon signed with Tennessee during the early signing period Dec. 21, 2022.

The 6-foot-2, 215-pound Seldon is from Northumberland High School in Heathsville, Virginia.

He is taking part in spring practices at Tennessee as an early enrollee freshman.

Following the Vols’ first spring practice on Monday, third-year head coach Josh Heupel discussed Seldon and his role with Tennessee.

“We’ll start him in the backfield,” Heupel said of Seldon. “That’s where he’s going to get the majority of his work. His skillset allows for him to do different things. We’ll increase his exposure out on the perimeter intentionally throughout the course of spring. We’ll start it spoon-fed, and then he’ll grow from there.

“The thing that’s important for him is all the things that take place at the running back position, obviously your run game, run schemes, he’s going to understand some pop-pass concepts because of them being involved in it. With the protection part of it, I think it’s important that he starts there and is able to grow from that starting point.”
