Where DeSean Bishop ranks for rushing yards after Kentucky game

Tennessee running back DeSean Bishop has recorded 1,066 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns on 196 attempts through nine games in 2026.

The 5-foot-10, 215-pound senior has also totaled nine receptions for 64 yards through Week 10.

"DeSean's a great player," Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel said on Monday after defeating Kentucky. "What he's done with his body since he arrived this offseason. How he takes care of it during the course of the week and gets ready for game day is a major part of why he does get stronger throughout the course of the football game.

"There's a couple of cuts early in the football game that DeSean and some of our other backs missed, but DeSean is tough, smart, and does a great job getting his pads down. He made people miss in the hole. That four-minute drive, that happens because of his skill set."

Bishop ranks No. 10 nationally and second in the SEC for rushing yards after Week 10. Missouri running back Jamal Roberts leads the SEC with 1,071 rushing yards, while Boise State running back Dylan Riley leads the nation with 1,241 rushing yards.
