To say Tennessee quarterback Joshua Dobbs might be the next Dak Prescott is a stretch. Or is it?

Prescott, the former Mississippi State quarterback, caught the eye of the Dallas Cowboys with his MVP performance in the 2016 Senior Bowl. The Cowboys chose Prescott in the fourth round (No. 135 overall pick) of the 2016 NFL Draft, and it proved a fruitful pick.

2. Grading the Vols - Friday, October 21, 2016

Tennessee’s football team is spending this week’s open date trying to get healthy after a rugged four-game stretch of SEC football in which they defeated Florida and Georgia and lost to Texas A&M and Alabama.

3. Clarksville's Reeves-Maybin confident in himself, Vol teammates - Friday, August 12, 2016

Clarksville’s Jalen Reeves-Maybin is in full football mode as he prepares for his senior season at Tennessee.

After choosing not to enter the 2016 NFL Draft, Reeves-Maybin graduated in May after three years and is focused on helping UT win an SEC championship and improving his stock in next year’s draft. He’s also taking a few graduate courses, nothing too taxing.

4. Here’s how Vols grade going into second half - Friday, October 16, 2015

Order has been restored in Vol Nation, at least for now.

Tennessee’s football team restored it with a 38-31 victory over then-No. 19 Georgia last Saturday at Neyland Stadium.

UT’s rally from a 24-3 deficit has much of the fan base back on board with Vols coach Butch Jones and his staff after a precarious week leading up to the game.

5. Rocky Top in Nashville: Good for city, bad for Vols - Friday, September 4, 2015

I can’t help but get fired up for a college football game between Tennessee and Virginia Tech in front of 150,000 people at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Brilliant idea.

Too bad “The Battle of Bristol” won’t happen until Sept. 10, 2016.

6. Despite personnel losses, UT’s defense should be much-improved - Friday, August 28, 2015

John Jancek begins his third season as Tennessee’s defensive coordinator under head coach Butch Jones, and thanks to two solid recruiting classes should have his best defense with the Vols.

UT is bigger and faster on the defensive side than the previous two seasons, when the Vols showed improvement from the 2012 season by shaving more than 100 yards and 11 points per game allowed.

7. Freshmen to again play key roles for Vols - Friday, August 14, 2015

Despite doing so in 2014, Tennessee football coach Butch Jones doesn’t want to make a habit of placing freshmen in prominent roles.

You don’t win SEC titles with freshmen.

UT went 7-6 last season, 3-5 in the SEC, and won the TaxSlayer Bowl while setting a school record by playing 21 true freshmen in the season-opener.

8. Kelly, Berry battle for safety spot in legacy showdown - Friday, April 24, 2015

Todd Kelly Jr. concludes his first spring practice with Tennessee’s football team this week in a heated competition for a safety job.

No surprise there.

Kelly, former all-state player at Webb School of Knoxville, was an impact player as a true freshman in 2014.

9. Injuries slow development of Vol defensive players - Friday, April 10, 2015

Tennessee football fans might want to look past the defensive lineup for the Orange & White Spring Game. It will bear little resemblance to the unit that will start the 2015 season opener against Bowling Green on Sept. 5 at Nashville’s LP Field.

10. Vols take plenty of momentum into offseason - Friday, January 9, 2015

KNOXVILLE – There’s nothing like going into the offseason on a high note. The Vols will be riding the momentum from the resounding 45-28 victory against Iowa in the Jan. 2 TaxSlayer Bowl through the end of recruiting season, winter workouts, spring practices and into the summer months.
