Tennessee football career passing leader No. 4: Tyler Bray (2010-12)

7,444 passing yards
69 passing touchdowns
58.6% completion
8.1 yards per attempt

In his three seasons at Tennessee, Bray put up some impressive numbers. He led the SEC in pass attempts in 2012 after finishing fourth in 2011. The Vols lost seven games in each of his seasons as the starter, but he was able to make his mark in the stat sheet.

Bray never completed more than 60% of his passes but threw for nearly 2,000 yards in each of his first two years. Then as a junior, he threw for 3,612 yards and 34 touchdowns with 12 interceptions.

That led to a 4-7 record and after head coach Derek Dooley was fired, Bray declared for the NFL draft early, but went undrafted.
