Volquest answers your Tennessee football, recruiting & baseball questions in the May 28 mailbag 00:45 - Tkent65: What is something that each quarterback possesses that gives you confidence they can win in their first year as a starter? 06:09 - Volken: Who do you have on your UT Football All-Underutilized team? Most talented misused players in UT History. I'll start with the obvious Alvin Kamara 09:17 - HendersonvilleVol15: We know the DL will rotate a ton, and we hope the defense as a whole is much better, who is your projected 2 deep at LB, corner and safety? 14:01 - RWDYvawl: What 3 guys are the closest to committing right now? 18:34 - Cruss33: Will Josh Elander recruit as well as Tony did in the portal? What is the next step for Tennessee as a athletic department? 20:49 - NoogaVol200: Do you guys think this Ole Miss investigation could actually be consequential? 27:01 - Baycvol: Do the boosters not view football as the end all anymore at Tennessee? 28:54 - UTchuck54: With the current high school commits, it seems like the Vols are going to let kids walk and not even fight for legacy players. Are the Vols going to work the portal harder? Just saying it seems like no one really cares. 33:13 - Mbvols: Top 5 targets on the board for the HS cycle that you think TN is going to be a finalist for? 36:25 - Dalvol5: What makes Sankey fold/get rolled on this playoff expansion like he did on the 9 games conference schedule? 39:53 - BigOrange22: What stat category on defense will see the most improvement, and what player(s) will surprise the fan base the most? 42:00 - Ajlewis0527: I know having a "veteran" center is good for a New QB but I think a good/great run game might be more beneficial than playing Pendleton simply because he's experienced. Can Moore win that job? 43:13 - 3rd and Chavis: How aggressive do you expect Elander and crew to be in the portal and what type of players do you expect them to target? Who are some BaseVols you would keep an eye on for potential portal risks? 44:34 - MbVols: Who of the following makes the biggest impact in the 2026 season: Jim Knowles, Derek Owings, The 4 Penn State transfers on defense 47:36 - BigOrangeCrush: Do you think it’s because we lost Frank or just some bad luck or evaluations on why our pitching is not up to par this season? 49:14 - DaleEllisFan: Do you think Greg Sankey is slow-playing announcing the official CFP stance of the SEC while he awaits word on how much money a 24 team playoff would generate? 50:19 - Threat leVol midnight: What would have to happen for Greg Stankey to be removed as commissioner? He’s running this conference into the ground. 52:41 - SamSmith2233: Cain this team is 8-5 against Teams that hosted. They have zero pitching depth but besides a underperforming arm stepping up what does this team need to do to get a trip to College Station next weekend 54:08 - Bayside: Way too early but best guess on who ends up 2nd behind Bishop in carries this season. 55:41 - Volunteed87: I realize Chaz’s situation makes this tricky, but let’s assume he’s playing. 4th and inches on defense, can you give me two or three guys in the middle of the line that Garner/Knowles are most confident in driving the guard or center into the backfield? 3rd and long, can you give me four on the line Garner/Knowles have the most confidence in to get to the quarterback?
