The final week of spring football practice for first-year Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel and his Volunteers began with a two-plus hour workout on Tuesday afternoon as Haslam Field.
Tennessee will practice again Thursday as it prepares for Saturday's Chevrolet Orange & White Game. Kickoff is 4 p.m. ET, and the contest will be broadcast on SEC Network+ and the Vol Network. Admission is free with gates opening at 2:30 p.m.
Linebackers coach Brian Jean-Mary discussed his unit's progress this spring following practice. Jean-Mary brings an extensive resume to Knoxville that includes stints as linebackers coach at Georgia Tech, Texas, Louisville and Michigan.
"I commend that unit because they have never complained even when our numbers are low," he said. "They go out and play. It's about opportunity and being prepared when you have that opportunity. We have a lot of guys that probably thought they didn't see themselves playing this early in their careers, and they're getting the opportunity to impress coach (Josh) Heupel and coach (Tim) Banks. They're making the most of it."
