The Tennessee Vols softball team is set to begin its postseason, and the same for baseball is right around the corner.

But, in the middle of May, it’s football dominating the day.

Butch Jones says Vols not ‘restarting’ with new quarterback – Patrick Brown, GoVols247

The Tennessee Vols may be breaking in a new quarterback this Fall, but Butch Jones said he doesn’t look at it as restarting. Jones had high praise for Jarrett Guarantano and Quinten Dormady and implied the program was in good hands with either quarterback. Here’s a quote from him.

"“We’re excited about those individuals. They’re very, very talented. I think the other thing that really helped their growth and their development is really being able to sit back and watch a Josh Dobbs and how he carries himself on a daily basis, and not just on the field, but off the field and in the community and really the expectations that surround being the starting quarterback at the University of Tennessee.”"
