Tennessee Spring Scrimmage Highlights: Steady QBs, Strong Defense Shine at Neyland

UT's spring Orange-White Game at Neyland wrapped up spring camp with steady, turnover-free quarterback play and no downfield fireworks; Ryan Staub connected on the lone air strike to Carson Whitehead while George MacIntyre ran with the first unit and Javin Gordon showed a spark in the run game. Defensively, Kayin Lee and Ty Redmond stood out, with rising linebackers Brayden Rouse and TJ White making plays; special teams produced solid work from Cooper Ranvier and Jackson Ross. No clear QB winner emerged as Tennessee heads into summer practice.

Holly Rowe defends critique of Tennessee's handling of Pat Summitt's legacy

ESPN reporter Holly Rowe elaborated on her critique of Tennessee’s athletic department, arguing that the Lady Vols’ legacy under Pat Summitt has been diminished. She deleted a post that sparked NIL-debate backlash but stood by her points, saying she’d rather address the issues directly with the AD. Rowe also notes the program’s struggles, including a depleted roster (zero players after a 16-14 season) and a transfer-portal exodus, while highlighting Summitt’s historic endowments as a benchmark for what the program once valued.

Elite Eight Clash: Michigan Seeks to Extend NCAA Streak vs. Tennessee

Michigan and Tennessee meet in the Elite Eight on Sunday (2:15 p.m. ET, CBS) for a fourth NCAA Tournament pairing since 2010, with Michigan having won the previous three. Tennessee relies on elite offensive rebounding and heavy off-ball action around two bigs and Jaylen Carry, ranking well in second-chance points despite middling shooting efficiency. Michigan has faced multiple top rebounding teams this season and will look to limit second-chance opportunities in a game that could hinge on paint play and timely defense.
