Vols' quarterback battle: 'Nobody's going to earn it, lose it day one'
Josh Heupel details Tennessee's starting quarterback competition in fall camp.
Tennessee's four quarterbacks – freshman Brandon Faizon, redshirt freshmen George MacIntyre and Mason Phillips, and redshirt junior transfer Ryan Staub – will begin fall training camp with no clear starting quarterback position determined, according to head coach Josh Heupel. Heupel emphasized that nobody will "earn it or lose it day one," urging the quarterbacks to improve upon their spring ball performances and demonstrate better command, control, and accuracy in the offensive scheme.
The coach reiterated his desire to see the quarterbacks develop consistently and avoid repeating past mistakes, ultimately naming a starter once one player has shown significant improvement.
