KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Joshua Dobbs slowly walks through a sea of students between his aerospace engineering classes. Even at 6-foot-3 and 213 pounds, Dobbs is nearly hidden by people weaving past him.
His white earbuds block out the world around him as some quietly acknowledge him with a smile or a head nod. However, on this cool, spring morning, Dobbs manages to be mostly invisible. But whether the people around him realize it or not, they're in the presence of the SEC’s most important player in 2016.
He’s the captain of a crew with championship expectations.
