Watch: Highlights from Tennessee's second practice of the spring
Tennessee returned to the practice field for the second time this spring, and Volquest has the latest highlights from the allotted media viewing portion of the outing in the video player below.
“Great to get on the grass here as we start spring ball,” Tennessee Head Coach Josh Heupel told reporters last Friday following the Vols first time out in the Spring. “The guys have had really good winter. A bunch of new guys, 27 new guys, 23 freshmen inside of the program. A lot of young guys just on our roster in general and probably what they’ve done, just strength and conditioning, (the) build-up, the lead-up to spring ball. Starting to get a grasp of what we’re doing on the football side as well.”
“Today is day one. As you would expect, great energy. Guys playing hard, too. There’s going to be a bunch as we go back and watch the tape. It’s the beginning part of the journey. And (we) challenged those guys after practice. Man, it’s about consistent growth. It’s about not making the same mistake twice and learning how to play the way that you have to. And that starts with effort, attitude and playing tough. And we’ll continue to grow on the smart side of it as we continue to go through spring, but in the lead-up to kickoff as well.

Tennessee will host its pro day on Tuesday afternoon ahead of its third practice of the spring on Wednesday morning.
“Yeah, you know, I really do enjoy every phase of the offseason,” Heupel added last Friday. “Guys get back, they’re excited about getting in the weight room and doing some stuff with them and on the conditioning side, some football, you know, it’s limited during your build up, ramp up during the winter. But now you’re back to what we’re all here to do, which is go play. You get on the grass, competition, energy, guys make plays, guys don’t make plays, how do you reset to the next play? It’s just, I love spring ball ’cause it’s an intentional time of fundamental technique. Just, you’re starting on the football side, on the ground floor. You reset every year. So, a lot of fun to get back out there with those guys.”
