Presenting Your Tennessee Vols
Category Football
If there’s one thing you know you’re gonna get from media days it’s a little tune form “Smooth” Gerald Jones. Combine that with a melody from the defensive line, awkward silence from members of the Volunteer secondary and Cody Pope’s deepest darkest secret that he just so happens to be good at video games (Oh my, video games, no way!) and you’re got a pretty good Vol media day mixed bag. So, without further ado, these are your Tennessee Vols.

Chris Walker just gets it. He, along with Nick Reveiz, know what it means to be a Vol, whether it’s the tradition, the leadership, or a combination of the two. For a Tennessee boy like myself, it’s great to see another Tennessean like Walker, and Reveiz, leading our home state Vols.
Head Coach Derek Dooley and the Vols on first scrimmage
Category Football
Head coach Derek Dooley talks about the Vol’s first scrimmage of the spring – one that was for the most part dominated by the Tennessee defense with the exception of a long run by Tauren Poole. Accordingly, these bursts from the junior tailback have become a bit commonplace during the spring. Here’s hoping this year Poole gets some meaningful game action because it seems like he deserves it more than anyone so far.
Quarterbacks Nick Stephens and Matt Simms talk about their play during the scrimmage – neither of which was anything to write home about, but it’s still early. Volunteer running back David Oku, defensive end Chris Walker and safety Janzen Jackson also talk about the Vol’s spring work and their objectives from here on out.
