Tennessee scrimmaged for the first time during fall training camp Tuesday ahead of the 2022 season.
Following the Vols’ scrimmage, second-year head coach Josh Heupel met with media.
Heupel discussed redshirt senior quarterback Hendon Hooker’s performance during the Vols’ scrimmage.
“I thought he was really good,” Heupel said of Hooker. “He was really efficient, effective, handled the operation side of it extremely well. He’s been in really good command of what we’re doing offensively, keeping us out of bad plays, bad situations.
“He’s turning the negatives into zero, been decisive getting the ball out of his hands. He’s in complete command of what we’re doing on the offensive side of the ball. Run game, pass game and protections as well. I’m really pleased with his progress through spring ball, but even after spring ball to where he is now. He did some really great things out there today. Yesterday, he had a great day too. I love where he’s at. Keep fighting, be ready for week one, and go be your best.”
