KNOXVILLE — Tennessee returned to the practice field this week for the first time since March when the coronavirus pandemic canceled college athletics.
As the Vols return to practice in preparation for the upcoming season, sophomore linebacker Henry To’o To’o discussed where he feels like he and Tennessee’s team are mentally and physically from a football standpoint right now.
“Mentally wise, we did a great job as a team, as a defensive and offensive unit to be able to hold Zoom meetings while we were all in quarantine,” To’o To’o said. “So, we were on Zoom getting the same film work in, holding each other accountable, making sure everybody’s camera was on, making sure that everybody was answering questions. We did a tremendous job. So, mentally wise, I feel like we all did a great job. We came in and got on Day-1 installing and we rode from there.
“Physically wise, I feel like I did a good job being able to come back physically (in shape) and I think the team did a good job too. They came back stronger. We came back working out with A.J. (Artis), and we did a really good job as a team being conditioned and being physically strong.”
