Tennessee quarterback Harrison Bailey appeared in six games during his freshman 2020 season.
The 6-foot-5, 225-pound signal-caller started the final three contests for Tennessee.
He was 48-of-68, totaling 578 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions in 2020.
Tennessee defeated Vanderbilt, 42-17, on Dec. 12. Vanderbilt interim head coach Todd Fitch discussed what he saw from Bailey and the future he has at Tennessee.
“Just watching him on the sideline — good size kid, throws pretty well for his size,” Fitch said on the show “Tennessee Two-A-Days.” “I thought he threw the ball really smoothly, wasn’t a force throw, a very smooth throw. It looked like he handled himself well, too. It didn’t look like he was overwhelmed by anything in the two games I saw him play, one on tape and one live.
“He has a really good chance to be a good football player for them. I’m sure they are excited at Tennessee, and with his normal growth and development, and hopefully he can continue to stay healthy, and continue to grow and become a great player.”
Fitch served as Vanderbilt’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach before becoming the Commodores’ interim head coach.
