Vol Legacies First Two To Sign
By Zach Ragan
There couldn’t have been a better way for the Vols to start National Singing Day 2014 than with the signings of two Vol legacies — Todd Kelly JR and Dillon Bates.
Both players’ fathers played at Tennessee. Todd Kelly SR was a defensive end who is fourth on the career sacks list at UT, while Bill Bates was a safety for the Vols who eventually won a Super Bowl with the Dallas Cowboys.
Both players are extremely important to the future of Vol football. Bates has an excellent opportunity to play early and Kelly’s importance as a hometown guy can not be understated.
