Tim Banks discusses Vols’ spring practices

Defensive coordinator Tim Banks discusses the Vols’ spring practices.

Tennessee kicked off spring practices Tuesday at Haslam Field.

The Vols will not hold its annual Orange & White spring game due to Neyland Stadium renovations.

In replace of the Vols’ Orange & White Game, the University of Tennessee announced plans for an All Vol Weekend.

All Vol Weekend will consist of a fan-friendly spring weekend featuring multiple UT teams in action and a fan fest tailgate, April 7-10.

Tennessee will have a football scrimmage April 9 at 1 p.m. EDT at Anderson Training Center and will be closed to the general public. There will be no live digital stream of the scrimmage.

Volunteer Village at Humanities Plaza will welcome fans and feature two big screens that will carry the scrimmage. In addition to live interviews with head coach Josh Heupel, VFLs and other guests on the screen, Volunteer Village will showcase food trucks, music and activities for all ages from noon-3 p.m. EDT.
