Look familiar? QB Hendon Hooker helped direct the Pride of the Southland Band after Tennessee's win, just like Peyton Manning did on his senior day in 1997. ByMikeWilson's full story here➡️
“He will be one of the greats," Vols coach Josh Heupel said."However it ends out, he will be one of the greats here. Pretty cool story. The perseverance that it takes to fight and go through that as a player, it is a hard thing to do.”
The Heisman Trophy candidate had an emotional day from start to finish. It began with the Vol Walk during which Hooker said he had to hold back tears. "It is a blessing just to be able to put the uniform on and showcase what God has blessed me with," Hooker said."It is emotional for me, the game has brought me and my family a long way. Anytime I get a chance to go out here and showcase it is special.”Hooker is having a historic season for the Vols. He has thrown for 2,888 yards and 24 touchdowns with two interceptions. He has rushed for five touchdowns.
Hooker has started 21 straight games for Tennessee after taking over the QB1 spot in Week 3 last season. The sixth-year quarterback transferred from Virginia Tech in January 2021 prior to Jeremy Pruitt's firing. He stuck with Tennessee through the coaching change and has thrived under Heupel."I want to be a positive light in my community and a positive light in people's lives," Hooker said.
