Hendon Hooker in ‘complete command’ during first fall scrimmage

It’s nice to have confidence at the quarterback position, isn’t it?

This time one year ago, Tennessee had three guys battling it out for the starting gig in camp. It all ended up working itself out on the field, and now Hendon Hooker is back for more.

Hooker’s steadying presence was everything for Tennessee last season. Once he took over, Hooker was rock solid, executing the Tennessee offense to near perfection. Downfield shots, efficient and accurate in the short and intermediate, decision making and his tough running ability — it’s tough to ask for much more than you got out of him in 2021.
