Tennessee Tech was predicted sixth in the 2021 OVC football preseason poll.

After a win over nationally-ranking Austin Peay to begin the spring, Tennessee Tech earned a spot in the Top 25, marking its first national ranking since 2011. The breakout star of 2020 for the Golden Eagles was sophomore quarterback Willie Miller who took over the starting role and finished the campaign with 879 passing yards and five touchdowns while also rushing for 243 yards (second-most on the team) and four additional scores in seven games.

On the opposite side of the ball head coach Dewayne Alexander returns Preseason All-OVC picks Chris Tucker (34 tackles, 7.0 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks) and Josh Reliford (41 tackles, two interceptions) along with linebacker Seth Carlisle who led the team with 49 tackles in the spring.
