The everything school — Tennessee Volunteers — has won the SEC’s all-sports title for a third straight year. 

To say it’s been a banner academic year in athletics is an understatement. 

Volleyball — sweet sixteen
Football — 9 wins including Citrus Bowl win
Basketball — regular season champs, elite 8
Softball — regular season champs, regional champs, fell in the super regionals
Baseball — regular season champs, SEC tournament champs, #1 overall seed in the regionals
Women’s tennis — final four
Men’s tennis — elite 8
Men’s golf — first ever #1 seed, in NCAA championships, finished in the top 10 nationally for the first time since 1981
Cross country — both were NCAA regional champions, women finished 6th nationally, men 26th nationally after advancing out of the regions
Swimming — Women finished 2nd in SEC, men finished 5th, men finished 6th in the NCAA’s., women finished 4th nationally

Tennessee athletics director Danny White feels that with questions, success is breeding success.

“There’s no question. We talk about building a championship culture and serious-minded men and women that come to Tennessee to make the most of themselves as a person, as a student, as an athlete, and how that can rub off on each other and become contagious just like you say,” White said. “We talk about that in the recruiting process with parents, with student-athletes. We want those kind of kids, and I think that our fans and our University community want those kind of kids representing them.”

Tennessee is just the second school in SEC history joining Florida to win the all-sports title back to back years. 

Expectations for the 2024-2025 year are high starting with football and the highly anticipated debut of quarterback Nico Iamaleava. Following the work of Rick Barnes and his staff in the transfer portal hoops expectations will again be high.

Obviously this year is not done as Tony Vitello’s baseball team will host regionals this week at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.
