No. 17 Tennessee (3-1, 0-1 SEC) will play Auburn (3-1, 1-1 SEC) Saturday at Neyland Stadium. The Southeastern Conference matchup is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. EDT (ESPN).
Tennessee sophomore running back Javin Gordon has appeared in two contests this season. He has recorded 79 rushing yards on 20 attempts, while totaling one reception for 18 yards against Furman and at Georgia Tech.
Beginning with the 2024-25 athletics calendar, the SEC made it mandatory for schools to provide public reports on availability of student-athletes to participate in each conference game in football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball and baseball.
A final Tennessee-Auburn availability report was released Friday. Gordon is listed as doubtful.
The 5-foot-10, 212-pound running back transferred to Tennessee from Tulane after the 2025 season.
