Vols erupt for six homers to rout Texas at Lindsey Nelson, clinching series

Tennessee baseball pounded Texas 14-9 at Lindsey Nelson Stadium, with six different Vols going deep and 16 hits, including Manny Marin’s 387‑foot homer, to clinch the weekend series. The win followed a Friday 5-1 Tennessee victory and came as the Vols again showcased power hitting; Jackson Schlossnagle (Texas coach Jim Schlossnagle’s son) posted a jab at the ballpark on X, adding a playful subplot to the matchup. Tennessee will go for a sweep on Mother’s Day with a noon ET first pitch on ESPN2.

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.
