In a surprise move that has sent ripples through college football, quarterback Gerry Bohanon has officially signed a six-year contract with the University of Tennessee Volunteers, securing his position through the 2031 season. The announcement was made earlier today, marking a historic shift in Tennessee’s future quarterback strategy.

Bohanon, who has been a standout performer at previous programs, is widely regarded for his strong arm, leadership qualities, and versatility on the field. His decision to join the Vols has ignited optimism among the fanbase, as Tennessee has been in search of a stable and dynamic quarterback presence since the departure of former star players. The six-year commitment reflects both the school’s confidence in Bohanon and its long-term vision for the program.

The deal is one of the most lucrative contracts ever offered to a quarterback in college football, though exact financial details have not been disclosed. According to sources close to the team, Bohanon will be expected to help elevate Tennessee’s offensive play, with hopes that his addition will give the Vols a competitive edge in the Southeastern Conference (SEC).

Tennessee Head Coach Josh Heupel expressed excitement over the signing, stating, “Gerry is the type of leader and playmaker we’ve been looking for to lead our offense into the future. His experience and ability to execute under pressure will be invaluable as we continue to build a championship-caliber team.”

With Bohanon on board, Tennessee fans now have high expectations for the upcoming seasons. The 2025 season, in particular, will be a crucial year for the Vols as they aim to return to national prominence with their new star quarterback leading the charge.
