Tennessee Vols recruiting during the Orange and White weekend, golf, rowing, and baseball and softball lead the Volunteers news for Monday, April 24, 2017.

Happy post-spring game to everybody! The Tennessee Vols football summer offseason has begun after Saturday’s Orange and White game.

Now, we head to the final stretch of the spring sports for the school before the full athletic year comes to an end.

As we get set to bring you the morning news on Rocky Top, hitting the recruiting lottery over the weekend is a major headliner of the spring game. And that happened despite the fact that the spring game only lasted for a half.

Meanwhile, baseball and softball stories continue to dominate as we are in the heart of those spring sports. And other spring sports generated news as well.

Let’s start with the football news.

"Although the game was cut short because of inclement weather, Tennessee secured 2 solid commitments afterward — one from 3-star QB Michael Penix and another from Class of 2019 receiver Cameron Wynn.But those weren’t the only ones.
