The 1893 Tennessee Volunteers football team represented the University of Tennessee as an independent the 1893 college football season. The 1893 season was Tennessee's third season as a varsity squad. A notable matchup for Tennessee came against Kentucky State College, later the University of Kentucky, in the first meeting of the two programs.[1] The 1893 varsity team was to be the last until 1896 because the university "wanted to put emphasis on academics." The Vols went 2–5, losing the first five games.
