Updated OCT 10, 2026Max Gilbert gives Arkansas a kicking edge against Tennessee
What Happened
On Saturday, Oct. 10, Tennessee is scheduled to face former Vols kicker Max Gilbert when it visits Arkansas in Fayetteville, where the senior Razorback has made 7 of 9 field-goal attempts and all 10 extra-point tries in 2026. Gilbert entered the transfer portal after the 2025 season and appeared in 26 games for Tennessee from 2023 through 2025. He made 34 of 45 field goals and all 118 extra points for the Vols. He has scored 31 points for Arkansas. The matchup puts 4-1 Tennessee against 2-3 Arkansas. A loss would give the Vols a second defeat before their Oct. 17 home game against Alabama; a win would preserve the momentum of their 4-1 start. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:15 p.m. EDT at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium and will air on SEC Network. Tennessee is coming off a 24-14 win over Auburn on Oct. 3, while Arkansas lost 34-7 at Texas A&M. Gilbert gives the Razorbacks a productive kicking option with three seasons in Tennessee’s program.
