  Walker Merrill debuted a new look with a dark visor at the start of Tennessee football preseason practices. But the switch isn't a style statement from the sophomore wide receiver. "I have ongoing migraine problems," Merrill said Thursday. "So the sun sometimes affects it. We try to keep those minimal. So I have a dark visor." Merrill, a Brentwood native, played in 10 games with one start as a freshman in the 2021 season. He caught five passes for 52 yards.

NCAA rules prohibit visors being worn in games, so Merrill won't be able to wear the dark visor during Tennessee's games. The Vols open the season against Ball State on Sept. 1 (7 p.m. ET, SEC Network) at Neyland Stadium. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound Merrill approached UT's medical team with a plan this offseason. He read an article about New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram wearing a dark visor to deal with migraines. The medical staff put in a request for one to help Merrill's situation. "I am just trying not to get them," Merrill said. "I wear the visor. Hopefully, everything goes correct. Knock on wood, I have had a better deal since I have been wearing it." - Knoxville News Sentinel
