Bailey has appeared in three games for the Vols in 2020. The 6-foot-5, 225-pound signal-caller is 14-for-23, while throwing for 175 yards and two interceptions.

“I feel like the three games that he’s played in, obviously the situations were probably favorable to him at the time, based off the score,” Pruitt said of Bailey. “I thought he handled himself really well. He continues to improve.

“The more practice that he gets, probably the more comfortable he is in the system and his surroundings and the people around him.”
