A senior, Tennell will likely make his first career start in the season opener against BYU after appearing in 35 games off the bench over the past three years. He's slated to be one of the team's starting receivers after catching nine passes in 12 games last season.

Who wins a 40-yard dash between the receivers on this team?

The receivers all know I can take them. I could probably give them 10 yards and still beat them.

What's an ideal day off look like?

Playing a video game at home.

What's your game?

Call of Duty.

Do you have a rival on the team or do you play online against other people?

Mossis Madu thinks he can beat me, so I gave him a challenge.

Was that about like the 40-yard dash? Did you need to give him a head start?

Yeah, I gave him about 10 kills and still came back and beat him.
