From Rant Sports

"The 2012 Tennessee Volunteers featured a high-powered offense with some playmakers who will have their name called sooner rather than later in the draft. Former wide receivers Cordarrelle Patterson and Justin Hunter played a major part of that talented offense and have now been dissected by numerous scouts."

From Bleacher Report

"The tight ends in this year’s draft class comprise a deep pool of talent both on the receiving and blocking ends. In the later rounds, there is a slew of tight ends that could turn into playmakers for NFL teams.Mychal Rivera is one of the many tight ends looking to make himself known as a day three sleeper. He put up nice numbers at Tennessee his senior year and was a starter for three seasons, giving him plenty of experience for the NFL."

From Go Vols Xtra

"Karen Weekly spoke no differently than usual post-game — in a soft, relaxed voice with the slightest of smiles mixed between a few acknowledging head nods.But the Tennessee co-head softball coach’s demeanor was very different just moments earlier.A three-game sweep of Auburn — chockfull of controversial calls and emotionally charged arguments — culminated with a heated meeting between Weekly and Tigers coach Tina Deese down the first-base line."

From UTSports.com

"Senior Zack Godley finished off Tennessee’s series win over No. 13 Kentucky with an exclamation mark, firing his second complete-game shutout of the year as the Vols took the series finale from the Wildcats, 5-0, on Sunday afternoon at Cliff Hagan Stadium."

From Nooga.com

"A week after the Vols’ defense dominated the second scrimmage, UT returned to Neyland Stadium for their final scrimmage tune up before the Orange and White Game next week Saturday.Coach Butch Jones saw a more balanced effort that showed some signs of the team’s progress as spring practice begins to wind down."
