The hometowns of Tennessee Volunteers freshman quarterback Will McBride and defensive back Terrell Bailey are both being affected by Hurricane Harvey.

The hurricane may have come, but as we know, Harvey is still having an impact on the Gulf Coast. And it’s hitting two hometowns of players currently on the Tennessee Vols roster.

Tennessee football freshman quarterback Will McBride, a three-star, committed to the Vols from Clear Springs High School in League City, Texas.

McBride figures to redshirt this year with Jarrett Guarantano and Quinten Dormady competing for the starting quarterback job. But a week away from the opener, he still made our news because of what happened to his hometown, League City, Texas, due to Harvey.

League City is part of the Houston metropolitan area, and it was one of the places to flood heavily. An article by Dana Guthrie of the Houston Chronicle shows drone footage and photos of the flooding that took place in League City.

But McBride isn’t the only player on the Vols whose hometown Harvey is impacting.

The storm is impacting the hometown of freshman defensive back Terrell Bailey, which, ironically, is Harvey, La.

Harvey, La. is in Jefferson Parish, and it’s right across the Mississippi River from New Orleans. According to NOLA online, the area is still bracing for heavy rains from the storm later this week.

There could be up to 10 inches hit the area, which would be devastating.

Bailey and McBride were both three-star recruits as members of the Tennessee football recruiting class.

There are other players on the Vols from Texas and Louisiana, but those places aren’t directly in the line of the storm the way League City was and Harvey is. Regardless, we are obviously thinking about these two Vols as well as everybody else whom the storm may affect.
