The Tennessee Vols wrapping up their pro day and beginning spring practice lead our Volunteers news for Tuesday, March 20, 2018.

Men’s and women’s basketball seasons are over. Baseball and softball are in full swing, though, and football news is about to take over again. That leads our updates for the Tennessee Vols on Rocky Top for this morning.

Yes, as we head towards the final third of the month of March and get set to begin April, the focus on next year’s football team along with former players entering the NFL Draft are going to be major topics of conversation. Both are newsworthy today.

It’s the perfect transition on the final day of Winter. Of course, with the arrival of spring comes a ton of bad weather across the Eastern half of the country this year. So with tornadoes in the South and snow in the North, let’s begin with the football news in Knoxville.
