Tennessee Vols’ Sheriron Jones transferring, Phillip Fulmer on the quarterback race, and Holly Warlick lead the Volunteers news for Wednesday, May 3, 2017.

With spring football and the NFL Draft over, we are closing in on the end of the athletic school year. And the Tennessee Vols football program still has a ton of news surrounding it.

As we get set to bring you the morning news on Rocky Top for today, that news includes football personnel, and it all surrounds the quarterback position. But there is lots of other news to get to this Wednesday as well.

That news includes an honor for Holly Warlick, another baseball win, and track and field and women’s tennis updates.

But with the Tennessee football quarterback always being the biggest athlete on campus, let’s start with the news surrounding that.

Tennessee Vols quarterback Sheriron Jones transferring – Wes Rucker, GoVols247

The Tennessee football quarterback race is technically down to four, with three scholarship guys, as Sheriron Jones announced he’s transferring. A former four-star quarterback, Jones was unlikely to beat out Jarrett Guarantano or Quinten Dormady for the starting job. So transferring was probably a good move.

"Jones, a sophomore quarterback who transferred to Colorado last year before returning to Tennessee just a few weeks later and getting a waiver to retain his eligibility for the 2016 season, has requested and been granted a release from Tennessee.Tennessee officials confirmed the initial report from recruiting analyst Ryan Bartow, who posted the information on Twitter."

"Fulmer, who was speaking to parents of Soddy Daisy high school football players at a fundraiser in Chattanooga, likes Tennessee’s two quarterbacks competing to be Josh Dobbs’ replacement."
