[NO SIR EEE]

The Media Center, in association with Tennessee Athletics, is excited to announce the release of a special project by Land Grant Films and the UT School of Journalism and Media that details the story of Tennessee baseball outfielder Hunter Ensley.

HUNTER follows Ensley's journey from his humble beginnings in Alaska and small-town West Tennessee to the bright lights of college baseball's biggest stage. Through exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes access with Ensley, head coach Tony Vitello, the voice of Tennessee Baseball John Wilkerson, and others, the film chronicles his rise from hometown hero to Tennessee legend.

HUNTER is set to premiere on Thursday, Feb. 13 at 8 p.m. ET on Tennessee Athletics' official YouTube channel.

He absolutely is a BaseVol legend.
The slide, the eye black... warrior.

He was as important as anyone in that run to the championship, and in the pantheon of great Tennessee plays, his catch, his slide, will be remembered forever! If he doesn't make those plays, we don't win!

That slide remains etched in my brain.

Very well done. Hopefully all the freshmen and sophomores watched it. Nothing comes easy in big time college baseball. It’s a great reminder that there’s lots of adversity and challenges in attempting to be a starter in the SEC. These young men have to be strong mentally and physically as it’s brutally competitive with lots of pressure to succeed. Hunter basically worked his tail off and willed his way to success. Very impressive young man.

He‘s a legend for sure and a VFL!

Yep, well done, must watch for a BaseVols fan. There’s one on Nate Snead too I think.

GBO!!!
