With the regular season now over, it’s decision time for a handful of Tennessee players. Some seniors still have a year of eligibility remaining due to the NCAA’s COVID year rule that was put into place last season.
Quarterback Hendon Hooker is the most notable senior that will have to make that decision, but one already has.
Senior offensive guard Jerome Carvin said on Sunday night that he plans on returning to Tennessee next season, giving the Vols a big boost up front.
Carvin’s announcement likely means that four of five starters will return, with Cade Mays expected to enter the NFL Draft.
