Joey Halzle discusses Vols’ quarterbacks through two fall camp practices.
Tennessee held its second practice of fall training camp on Thursday at Haslam Field.
Following practice, quarterbacks coach Joey Halzle met with media and provided his assessment of the signal-callers through two outings.
“It’s been really positive,” Halzle said. “For starters, everyone is going out and competing their butts off, not getting a bunch of misses with call and protections, calling runs as fast as we go. Our eye discipline has been really good, and zero turnovers so far in camp right now.
“In camp, the first couple days you always have a tendency to be sloppy, especially with a new offense, but guys are doing a great job getting their eyes in the right place, getting the body in the right place and taking care of the football.”
Quarterbacks Harrison Bailey, Hendon Hooker, Brian Maurer and Joe Milton III are competing for the Vols’ starting position.
Tennessee will kick off the season under first-year head coach Josh Heupel on Sept. 2 against Bowling Green at Neyland Stadium.
Kick off is slated for 8 p.m. EDT with SEC Network televising the matchup.
Redshirt junior quarterback Joe Milton III transferred from Michigan to Tennessee in April.
Milton III arrived at Tennessee after the Orange & White spring game.
The 6-foot-5, 244-pound Milton III appeared in 14 games for Michigan from 2018-20.
He totaled 1,194 passing yards, five touchdowns, six interceptions, 156 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns.
First-year Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel offered Milton III initially while serving as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Missouri in 2017.
Milton III made his Tennessee debut on Wednesday as the Vols practiced for the first time during fall training camp.
