Joe Osovet discusses playoffs in fourth year as Heritage's head coach
Osovet served as tight ends coach for the Vols in 2020. He also served as Tennessee's Director of Player Development (2018) and Director of Football Programming (2019) under head coach Jeremy Pruitt.
In 2024, Osovet and the Mountaineers went 5-5. Heritage, however, failed to qualify for the TSSAA Class 5-A playoffs, going 0-4 in Region 2-5A play. The Mountaineers were 3-7 in 2023 after going 4-6 during Osovet's first season in 2022. He inherited a team who went 0-10 in 2021.
Osovet discussed the 2025 season and Heritage competing to make the playoffs with Vols Wire.
"This is the year at Heritage," he said at KFOA media day. "We're excited, but this is the year that we have to make the playoffs. When I got here, we started seven freshmen, and now, those freshmen are seniors."
Heritage will open its season against Clinton High School on Aug. 22 at Dragon Stadium in Clinton, Tennessee. Clinton is coached by Jake Dawson, who was Osovet's one-time assistant. The two also worked together under Pruitt with the Vols.

British Open to use Spidercam technology for the first time at a professional golf event
The 2025 British Open will feature a television innovation that will be used for the first time in pro golf: the Spidercam. The R&A announced this week it'll be a "world-first for golf" that will bring TV viewers closer to the action that before. On Monday, Todd Lewis from Golf Channel posted on social video some video of the Spidercam going through some reps. He described it as "a camera supported by four cables commonly used in football broadcasts." What is the British Open spidercam? As Lewis mentioned, it's been used in football but also in rugby and cricket in the UK and will complement existing technology. "Suspended above the 18th green, spectacular aerial views and unique angles will bring to life the natural undulations of the hole and short shots around the green before the greatest walk in golf is captured as the Champion Golfer of the Year is crowned on Sunday," says the R&A. How and where to watch the British Open Championship 2025 The first chance to see this new Spidercam will likely be on Peacock, which is first up with the live coverage, as the streaming service comes on from 1:30 a.m. ET until 4 a.m. ET on Thursday. USA then takes over with a marathon stretch from 1 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. This will be the same schedule for Friday. On Saturday, USA goes from 5 a.m. ET to 7 a.m. then NBC takes over from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. ET. On Sunday, it's USA from 4 a.m. ET to 2 p.m. and NBC from 2 p.m. ET to 2 p.m. ET.

2025 SEC football power rankings at media days
SEC media days is being held, Monday-Thursday, at Omni Atlanta Hotel at Centennial Park and the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, Georgia. Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel represented the Vols on Tuesday at media days. He previewed Tennessee entering its upcoming campaign after a 10-3 (6-2 SEC) season and a College Football Playoff berth in 2024. 'As we move forward here into the '25 season, I'm going to rewind to last December,' Heupel said. 'Everybody inside of our program didn't like the taste in their mouth as the season finished up in late December. That's been a part of spurring us on throughout each quarter of our offseason. It's been a part of how intentional and how focused that we've been throughout the course of the summer, and I'm excited to go compete with these guys when we get here to training camp. 'For us to take another step and to continue to grow as a program, it has come down, and this is something that we've been very diligent in inside of our program this offseason, the accountability to yourself and to your teammates every single day. Guys doing their job at an elite level, building the leadership that you need to have to control and command your unit and your position group, and ultimately the way that we're going to compete every single day together.' More: 2025 win-loss record projections for all 16 SEC football teams Following the start of media days, Paul Myerberg of USA TODAY released SEC football power rankings for the 2025 season.
