George MacIntyre gets nod vs Arkansas, Tennessee's 6th starting QB for Josh Heupel

Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel has selected sophomore quarterback George MacIntyre to start against Arkansas, marking the Volunteers' sixth different QB to take the field this season. MacIntyre will lead the offense in a critical road game, where Tennessee aims to end a 25-year win drought in Fayetteville.

The decision comes amid lingering uncertainty over the availability of backup QB Faizon Brandon, whose health has been a point of speculation ahead of the matchup. Heupel has avoided confirming a starter publicly, instead navigating a complex quarterback situation with a mix of patience and strategic flexibility.

The Volunteers will look to capitalize on MacIntyre’s opportunity, seeking their first victory over Arkansas since 2001 while managing a roster where depth at the position has become a defining challenge.
