"New head coach Butch Jones has done more to revitalize Tennessee’s fan base before coaching a game than any coach in recent memory. But as training camp gets set to start up on Friday, the Vols have more questions than answers and will have plenty to sort out before Aug. 31 when they face Austin Peay.Who’s lining up under center?It’s been the biggest looming question surrounding the 2013 Vols ever since Tyler Bray announced his departure for the NFL last spring.To some, the obvious answer is Justin Worley, the junior who started three games as a true freshman in 2011. His one touchdown to five interceptions over his career leaves a lot to be desired, but one could argue that’s a byproduct of him being baptized by fire early on. There’s also Nathan Peterman, a redshirt freshman who can make defenses pay with his mobility."

"Tennessee begins fall camp on Friday and Nooga.com will be bringing you preview content all week as the Vols prepare for their first season under head coach Butch Jones.Ranking the scholarship newcomers’ (including those who arrived in the spring) potential for impact in 2013:1. WR Marquez NorthHe’s probably the safest bet if you’re looking for a freshman who will find a way to contribute. He might not be a starting wide receiver out of the gates, but coach Butch Jones will find ways to get him on the field and the ball in his hands. He could potentially grow into one of UT’s top targets by the end of the year."
