Tennessee football once again headlines the updates on Rocky Top for Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2016. The Volunteers’ depth chart and watch lists lead the news.

Happy Hump Day everybody. The next Hump Day, we’ll be preparing for the first full weekend of the season in college football. And on Rocky Top, it’ll be one day before the Vols’ opener against the Appalachian State Mountaineers.

Yes, it is the most exciting time of the year.

For many of us, this is better than Christmas. Football season takes over our lives, and it goes by oh too fast.

Tennessee football remains the focal point of news on Rocky Top for today. The Vols have more depth chart talk, including a backup named, updates on a rotation, and newcomers.

There’s also more preseason recognition heading their way. We’re about to get to all of that now, starting with the biggest news of the morning.

Quinten Dormady named backup quarterback – Jonathan Toye of the Knoxville News Sentinel

"Sophomore Quinten Dormady will be Tennessee’s backup quarterback, coach Butch Jones said Tuesday.“Quinten Dormady is one snap away,” Jones said. “He had his best day yesterday … I thought he was in command. He made all the throws.”"

"Amidst coach-speak, phrases — old and new — Butch Jones dropped an interesting nugget during his press conference Tuesday inside the Ray and Lucy Hand Digital Studio.Jones said, citing those famously unimportant recruiting rankings that every coach professes to disregard, that this Tennessee Vols’ signing class from 2016 will rank alongside any that Jones has inked."

Mike DeBord discusses Vols O-Line rotation – Wes Rucker of 247Sports

"For all the potential problems stemming from sophomore Chance Hall’s knee injury — and there are plenty of those — at least it seemed to simplify things for Tennessee at offensive tackle.On the surface, it looks for all the world that redshirt freshman Drew Richmond will be the first-team left tackle and junior Brett Kendrick will be the first-team right tackle, at least until Hall returns in an estimated four to six weeks.…No so fast, though, offensive coordinator Mike DeBord said before Tuesday’s practice."

Four Vols named to Senior Bowl Watch List – UTSports

"Tennessee seniors Joshua Dobbs, Jalen Reeves-Maybin, Cameron Sutton and Corey Vereen are among the 400 players named to the 2016-17 Reese’s Senior Bowl Watch List, which was released on Tuesday.“The release of our watch list signifies the opening kickoff for the Reese’s Senior Bowl,” said Reese’s Senior Bowl Executive Director Phil Savage. “We are looking forward to evaluating these prospects over the next several months in trying to find the best 110 players in America.”"
