Christian Charles

Christian Charles has faced as much adversity as anybody on this team. Between injuries and position changes over the past few years, he has never been able to settle in and play a role. This year, Charles has the opportunity to take a starting spot at safety, one of the big question marks of this team.

He saw action in nine games of the 2022 season but suffered an Achilles injury that cut his 2023 season short. He has totaled 43 tackles, 1 PBU, and one blocked punt in his career at Tennessee. The staff loves him, and he finally has an opportunity, health permitting, to take over a starting position in the secondary.
