Tennessee wraps up first practice since bowl announcement - GoVolsXtra Story

Fast Five

1. Daniel Helm was not at practice. Expect Butch to address after practice.
2. Hendrix and Sawyers missing. Hendrix and Scott are contemplating their futures at UT
3. Hurd, Lane, Young in green. Jones said that all three will be available for the bowl, however.
4. Quinten Dormady remains on campus following his official visit and is expected to be with the team for several days.
5. Sunday practice started two hours early so the coaches can hit the road early before the dead period starts on Monday.

Fast Five: Sunday practice

Did I read it wrong, or is Sawyers possibly leaving too?

"Hendrix and Sawyers are among the other Tennessee players whose futures with the program might be in question."

JONES: Our thoughts and prayers to the Auburn football family with the situation there.

JONES: This entire football team has shown great resiliency all season. There are a lot of positive things going on around here.

JONES: Daniel Helm has decided he'll go to another school. Hendrix and Scott will also be going to other schools.

JONES: We thank them and wish them the best. We will help them in any way we can to find a new school.

JONES: Josh today looked like the Josh Malone we saw in training camp. The time off really helped him heal and recover.

JONES: The bowl game preparation will help lead into our offseason program.

JONES: We will have the most college graduates on the field for the bowl game of any team.

JONES: Every flight I've had Iowa film up on my iPad. What I see is a well-coached football team that is big up front.

JONES: They were 7-3 at one point and played a lot of bowl teams this year.

JONES: Being in a bowl game is a change to instill the standard and expectations that we are a bowl team at Tennessee.

JONES: They deserve it, but that's the standard we have at Tennessee.


HURD: I just wanted to help lead the team, most importantly get to a bowl game. We want to win a bowl game.

HURD: We expect to go to a bowl game every year, that's Tennessee.

HURD: I'm playing game I love, but I can't be bummed (about not being home for Christmas) about it. Going to a bowl is where we want to be

HURD: I feel great, 100 percent.


BARNETT: I am excited to go down there to a bowl game. That's what you want.

BARNETT: Everybody has fresh legs and they are playing around the field.

BARNETT: It's a good feeling to win some awards, but it's not really individual. It's for my teammates too.

It's been reported that Sawyers has been very sick and why he has missed practice last couple weeks and is still with the team.

Butch has not said anything about Sawyers leaving. Just because he isn't at practice doesn't mean he's leaving. Has he been sick or is it grades?

Hendrix is transferring because of depth. With the Rise of Maggitt and Barnett ant DE and 4 incoming DEs it would be hard for him to see the field. Helm is home sick and also doesn't like the fact that the coaches curse. Scott also transfer because of incoming RBs.

He doesn't like that that cuss? He might as well give up on football then, he won't find many who don't.
