Tennessee pride runs deep— from the top of Clingmans Dome to the agriculture that defines the state. As some call Tennessee “the country music state,” it is only fitting that two natives graced the Tennessee Theatre stage Friday, July 18. Critically acclaimed for songwriting and known for his deep voice, Josh Turner returned to the historical venue for the first time since 2012 while on his Roughstock and Rambler Tour. Performing songs from his latest album, “Punching Bag,” along with other popular tunes, Turner dazzled the audience with his baritone voice and har-
monious charm. “Every song was good so it’s hard to pick a best part,” Megan Morton said, Knoxville resident who attended the show with friend Ashley Curl. Turner, a Nashville native, made his country music debut in 2001 on the well-known Grand Ole Opry stage, where he received a standing ovation after his performance of “Long Black Train,” a ballad encouraging strength in the face of harm and addiction. That performance catapulted Turner into the country music scene, where he has since established himself by singing about sweet love, pick-up trucks and the Tennessee countryside – like any quintessential “Backwoods Boy.” Despite the threat of thunder-
storms, Turner’s show gathered the most dedicated country music fans of Knoxville who welcomed Turner and his sevenpiece band warmly. Between songs, a particular group of women incessantly yelled “I love you, Josh” throughout the show. But no amount of heckling could dampen Turner’s charm, likability or radiant smiles. “He was amazing and just as good live as he is on the radio,” Curl said, a fan of Turner since 2012. The opening act was Logan Brill, a young Americana/country artist hailing from West Knoxville. Brill performed songs from her last album “Walking Wires” as well as a few new tunes, which she jokJosh Turner performs at the Tennessee Theatre ingly called her “guinea pigs.” Friday July 18 as a part of his Roughstock and See TURNER on Page 3 Rambler Tour.

Fresh faces: Lady Vols welcome four new players to 2014 roster SPORTS >>pg. 5
Meagan Yoakley Contributor After biking 2,400 miles across the country, the Freedom Cyclers will conclude their journey this Friday, July 25. But before arriving at their final destination, Savannah, Georgia, the group stopped in Knoxville last Friday with only a few hundred miles left to go. Comprised of four UT seniors, the cyclers began their trek in Newport Beach, California June 11, with the intention of using their ride to raise money and spread awareness about human slavery - the second fastest growing crime in the world. Seniors in accounting Jeff Maier, Jason Elliot and Taylor Carlisle, and senior in public relations Matt Roelofs were inspired to make the voyage after two of their friends traveled across

the U.S. to raise money for relief in Haiti. With an estimated 94 child victims in Tennessee each month, the issue hit home. “Nobody realizes how relevant human trafficking is in the U.S. and even here in Knoxville,” Roelofs said. Throughout their biking journey, the Freedom Cyclers have been accepting donations to benefit The Mekong Club, a not-for-profit organization aiming to fight the business of slavery, ONEless Ministries, a Smyrna-based non-profit aiming to fight the human trafficking and the Community Coalition Against Human Trafficking, an organization focusing on Knox County as well as on 41 other counties in East Tennessee. A support truck has been following the group for the duration of the ride to guard against unforeseen circumstances. Julie Maier, mother of rider Jeff
Maier, rode in the truck following the group for nine days, offering her support despite initial doubts. “A few of the family members were originally skeptical about their decision to support human trafficking awareness,” Maier said. “But, after seeing the determination of their sons and recently doing some research, we knew their minds could never be changed.” The experience, Maier said, has been one of learning for all involved. “I wish everyone could have this experience of being with three other people for 45 days straight and learning to love them through it all, to live life with them and make it up that huge hill together,” Maier said. Maier recalled discussing human trafficking with strangers, a favorite memory from the trip. See FREEDOM on Page 2

Four students raise human trafficking awareness
In an unusual move Friday afternoon, UT athletics allowed its freshmen football players to speak to the media. Typically, freshmen are not allowed to speak to the media, per SEC and NCAA rules. However, these are not your typical freshmen. The six freshmen that met the media at the Anderson Training Center on Friday are members of the “legacy class” in the 2014 recruiting class. These six players are called “legacies” because they have family ties to the Vols. Three players, Todd Kelly Jr., Dillon Bates and Neiko Creamer, had fathers who played football at Tennessee. Vic Wharton III had an uncle who played on the basketball team, and twins Evan and Elliot Berry, had both their father and older brother play football in Neyland Stadium. All six players grew up knowing about
their Big Orange heritage, but their family made sure to never pressure them into following their footsteps. “My dad never pressured me into anything with Tennessee football,” Dillon Bates said about his father and UT legend Bill Bates. “He did a great job of giving me a chance to look around and explore my options to make my own decision.” When asked if they feel any pressure living up to their esteemed brother, Eric Berry, both Berry twins echoed the same sentiment. “That’s not really on my mind. I feel like I already have my own name,” Elliot Berry said. “I mean, my name’s not Eric. I feel like I already make my own path.” Evan Berry agreed with his brother. “My last name doesn’t really put pressure on me,” he said. “My dad always told me I’m the only person who can put pressure on myself. It’s just football.” If it is the goal of every current player to make the Vols once again successful, the legacy players have an extra passion to see the image of the Vols restored to its former
glory. They have taken it upon themselves to be the catalysts in Tennessee’s resurgence. “I feel like Tennessee has always been close to all of our hearts,” Elliot Berry said. “The fact that we’re in the position to have the opportunity to put Tennessee back at the top is a big deal.” Bates agreed with Elliot Berry and has confidence in himself and his new teammates to make the future much brighter on Rocky Top. “It’s everybody’s goal to bring back Tennessee to where it’s supposed to be. It will happen,” Bates said. “It’s just a matter of time of us getting together and doing everything we can to help us this season. “It’s all about looking at what we can do right now to bring us back to where we’re supposed to be.” For Todd Kelly Jr., the state of the program hits home more than most. He grew up in Knoxville and played at Webb High School. He’s experienced the downfall of the Vols firsthand. See LEGACY on Page 6
To date, alumnus Butch Wilmore has spent 10 days, 19 hours and 16 minutes in space. At least, until he leaves for another mission Sept. 25. This time, Wilmore is headed to the International Space Station (ISS). Alongside him, Yelena Serova, the first Russian female cosmonaut to be aboard the ISS, and Aleksandr Samokutyayev, commander of the Soyuz spacecraft, will launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, the world’s first and largest space launch facility. The Navy captain will serve as flight engineer and then commander of Expedition 42. Not scheduled to return to Earth until March 2015, Wilmore and the cosmonauts will preform experiments in space and improve the ISS to allow commercial space vehicles to dock there in coming years. In preparation for the upcoming mission, Wilmore learned Russian – an admittedly difficult undertaking. Though English remains the official language on the ISS, Wilmore and his team said communication is essential for daily operations, as well as honoring diversity. Despite their disparate backgrounds, Samokutyayev recalls perfect unity in past flights. “Taken in my experience from flights, we had a mix of cultures,” Samokutyayev said. “We had the presence of Europeans on board, Russians, Japanese and Americans, of course. And, indeed, they’re all united by the same spirit of one and the same team. And for a mission to be performed properly and for the sake of all of us we all need to have a general, common understanding of everything.” Leading up to the flight, Wilmore, Serova and Samokutyayev spent years training together as a crew. When Wilmore arrives in Kazakhstan in mid-August, these tests will continue, which are mostly simulations of tasks the crew must complete while on board. See NASA on Page 2

Though no charges have yet been filed, Mahasti Vafaie, co-owner of Tomato Head restaurants and Flour Head bakeries, recently released a complaint regarding a fellow Market Square business, Breadheads.

NASA continued from Page 1 “For all of us, it’s a true honor and we don’t take it lightly,” Wilmore said. “That’s why we train hard, that’s why we study hard, and that’s why when we get there we’re ready to do what the program and our nations want us to do.” After joining NASA in 2000, Wilmore completed his first space flight in November
2009 during which he delivered about 30,000 pounds of replacement parts to the station. Viewing the world from space, Wilmore explained, is breathtaking – and a little difficult to describe. “I can’t even explain the brilliant colors of a sunrise and sunset,” Wilmore said. “You’ve seen pictures of it, I know you’ve seen videos, but what you see with your eyes can really give you a certain perspective on - wow, this is a truly amazing place that we live and truly amazing opportunities that with a little effort can be afforded to many. Hopefully, one day to go up there and see and experience that.”
“It gives me a desire to do my part, whatever little part that may be, so that many people can experience the things that few of us, relatively speaking, have had the opportunity to do and see,” Wilmore said. As technology progresses, Wilmore said he hopes humanity will continue to study and discover the cosmos. “We will continue to plot knots on a curve basically just like you do here on Earth to get an understanding into how some of these things work and how they can be a benefit to us,” Wilmore said, “so it’s been a building block approach from day one, and the space station is continuing in a magnificent way to build that understanding.”

Nelson continues legacy Campus statues create culture, skepticism with unforgettable concert Savannah Gilman Arts & Culture Editor With over 80 combined Grammy Awards, Willie Nelson and Alison Krauss and Union Station know how to put on a show. Sunday’s “Willie Nelson and Family” concert at ThompsonBoling Arena made history in Knoxville by merging Nelson’s timeless tunes with Alison Krauss and Union Station’s musical excellence. Co-headlining the tour with Nelson, Alison Krauss and Union Station played their two-hour set with grace and precision. This seasoned band of five exceptionally skilled musicians, singers and songwriters performed each of their well-known songs with a zealous enthusiasm that is often absent from long established groups. Krauss, with her bizarre sense of humor, kept the audience chuckling between beautiful renditions of the band’s poignant bluegrass tunes. “Well folks, that’s about the most upbeat sad song we’ve got for you tonight,” Krauss said at the conclusion of the band’s classic hit, “Every Time You Say Goodbye.” Also on the set list was a twosong instrumental interlude by Union Station’s 13-time Grammy Award winning Dobro player, Jerry Douglas, followed by guitar player Dan Tyminski’s much anticipated acoustic performance of “Hey Brother”—his recent chart-topping collaboration with Swedish DJ, Avicii. Krauss, who holds the record for most Grammy Awards won by a female artist, said she and her band had played many shows in Knoxville since their start in 1989. “Knoxville is one of the best towns for bluegrass music,” Krauss said. The band ended their evening of musical excellence with simple, pared down versions of their most famous songs—all in preparation for Willie Nelson’s classic sound. When Nelson, one of the last living stars of country music’s golden
age, took the stage at 9:30 p.m. — a time some would call late for an 81-year-old artist — the crowd’s fervor was palpable. Fans sporting knock-offs of Nelson’s signature pigtail braids and red bandanas stood to welcome the country music legend. The crowd sang and swayed along with Nelson and his 45-yearold splintered guitar, Trigger, as they rehashed an hour-and-half of his most popular tunes including “Crazy,” “Beer for My Horses,” “On the Road Again” and “You Were Always on My Mind.” Although Nelson is no longer in his prime — he often sang-spoke lyrics and struggled to keep his rambunctious guitar riffs on beat with the drummer — his classic grit and infectious positive attitude kept the audience satisfied. While Nelson said very little, pausing between sets only to introduce his five-piece band, the show was seldom boring. Sensing this might be the outlaw’s final bout on the touring circuit, fans went wild as Nelson tore off his classic red bandana and tossed it into the crowd. Still, Nelson showed no intention of slowing down. Along with his classic songs, the octogenarian showcased brand new tunes such as “Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die” and “Band of Brothers.” Douglas named Nelson as one of his country music idols. “Seeing Willie play is like watching a good president play guitar,” Douglas said. “He’s one of the greatest names in country music.” The evening concluded on a joyous note when Nelson invited all of the evening’s performers, including Alison Krauss and Union Station and opening act, The Wild Feathers, on stage to sing a medley of gospel tunes including “I’ll Fly Away” and “Will the Circle Be Unbroken.” The “Willie Nelson and Family” concert is best summarized in lyrics from Nelson’s 1980 hit, “On the Road Again.” “The life I love is making music with my friends / And I can’t wait to get on the road again.”
often immediately perceived as false. Lyons believes the “centaur” invites critical reflection as it demonstrates an intellectually stimulating juxtaposition. “Centaurs are part of Greek mythology,” Lyons said, “and since so much of Western culture has Greek and Roman origins, the form is both familiar and totally bizarre.” The UT centaur is now mythic. Lyons said he is still waiting for a centaur to appear during the homecoming parade. “Memphis has a pyramid, Nashville has the Parthenon,” Lyons said, “but Knoxville has The Centaur Excavations at Volos.” The Whirlwind of Opportunity Arguably, the most modern campus fixture rests at the peak of Pedestrian Mall. The dynamic “Startling Whirlwind of Opportunity” statue was a private gift to the school from alumnus
Wilton D. “Chick” Hill in 2009 as an accessory to UT’s Make Orange Green initiative. Designed by New York-based artist Alice Aycock, the 25-foot aluminum and glass sculpture was inspired by the bustling atmosphere of Pedestrian Mall. “The acquisition of knowledge is not a static series of steps but an incredibly dynamic, energetic and creative ricochet of information,” Aycock said in a statement. “Ideas are not at rest.” Though the piece works to both capture the essence of campus and accommodate UT’s sustainability initiative using low-energy LED lighting, it has been met with a flurry of responses. “Personally, I’m not a huge fan of the aesthetics because, for it to be a ‘whirlwind of opportunity,’ it seems childish,” said Maggie Miller, graduate student in art education. “It doesn’t really fit the culture of our campus.”

guitarist accompanied her on stage. “I thought she was awesome,” Curl said of Brill. “She’s got an amazing voice.” Ultimately, the night proved worthy of Tennessee’s rich, country music tradition.
“I thought everybody loved him, especially because his opening act went to Farragut high school, and his drummer is from Knoxville also,” Curl said. “And they played Rocky Top. It was awesome.”
As any student could tell you, UT places high value on tradition. These traditions take many forms, but perhaps the most enduring are the campus fixtures that the school hopes communicate the individuality and spirit of the UT campus. The Torchbearer Foremost in this category is The Torchbearer, also known as The Volunteer Statue. The sculpture, designed by Yale School of Fine Arts student Theodore Andre Beck, was selected through a nationwide contest in 1931 that sought a design to capture “the spirit of University youth and its ideal of service.” The original sketch was of an older man dressed in Grecian robes. After lengthy consideration, the design was subsequently modified to look younger and portray no specific nationality, giving the design a timeless quality. The Torchbearer became the official symbol of the UT in 1932, but the statue was delayed from being built due to the Great Depression and World War II. A student campaign led to the casting and establishment of the nine-foot Volunteer in Circle Park on April 19, 1968. The Centaur from Volos If you continue down Volunteer Boulevard, past the Torchbearer, to the Jack E. Reese Galleria in Hodges Library, you will find another intriguing piece in the collec-

tion of University artifacts— The Centaur from Volos. For 20 years, the display of “The Centaur Excavation at Volos” has led students to question their belief in the existence of centaurs. Exhibited in an elegantly constructed showcase are what appear to be the remains of a centaur excavated from an archaeological dig site in Volos, Greece. But are the dusty bones really those of a centaur? Unfortunately, no. “This display uses the conventions of scholarship to present a work of fiction as authentic,” said Beauvais Lyons, Ellen McClung Berry professor of art and advocate of the Centaur project. “The exhibit is a valuable object lesson on the importance of skepticism.” The centaur was originally composed by Bill Willers, an artist and professor of biology at the University of WisconsinOshkosh, from a combination of tea-stained pony bones and a deteriorating human skeleton. During the fixture’s formation in the early 1990s, then Dean of Libraries, Paula Kauffman, along with a host of other faculty were very supportive of the project. “The centaur underscores a key heuristic issue; that the experience of having a deeply held belief disconfirmed (as in the hoax dehoaxed) is critical to self-conscience epistemology and thus the educational process,” said Lyons. The library is an ideal setting for the centaur’s lesson in objectivity due to the fact that a work of “non-fiction” is not

Cast your ballot, speak your mind Kelsey Keny Guest Column There’s a five-year span in our lives when each year seems to bring a new “rite of passage.” You turn 16, you can hit the road. You turn 21, you can buy yourself a drink. And right in the middle, there’s the big 18th birthday. Welcome to official adulthood. Sure, we can play the lottery, serve on a jury, enlist in the military and get a tattoo. But, suddenly, we also have a political voice. At 18, we are granted a say in who runs our government. We gain the right to vote. But here’s the catch: you probably celebrated your birthday and excitedly registered to vote in your home district. But when election season rolls around in Knoxville, you can’t simply go to your local high school and make your selection. Instead, you have to consider absentee voting, early voting, making a trip home and other logistical factors. But for me, the more confusing element of being at school during elections isn’t mailing the ballot – it’s knowing who I’m voting for. I’m registered to vote back at home, but I don’t know much about the candidates. I keep up with Knoxville candidate platforms and issues. Yet, I’m unable to vote here. We’re granted this meaningful privilege, but where should we go to exercise it? Now, the enthusiasm we use to feel about voting can easily turn into confusion and exclusion from the democratic process. To those who feel confused and left out, I’m writing to say that we’re only as left out as we want – and choose – to be. These candidates may become the officials that represent us. Voting isn’t just about picking the name that gets a fancy title for a few years. It’s about choosing the person you believe will stand up for your interests. Today, voting is guaranteed to all citizens. But so many people have fought in so many ways to earn that right. I go to a program called Volunteer Girls State every year, and when we discuss voting, we’re always asked this question: “Are we living up to the sacrifices they made?” So stop viewing your vote as simply a right. View it as a civic responsibility. The absolute least we can do to honor those sacrifices is carry out this one responsibility with care. Even if that means making some adjustments, like requesting an absentee ballot (call your local election commission in the next week-and-a-half) or taking the time to early vote (right now, through Aug. 2). You can choose to keep voting for your hometown representatives or you can register to vote in Knoxville. Either way, our votes count if we make informed decisions. The current election has everything from local to state government official positions up for grabs—positions that affect our university and our day-to-day lives in small and large ways. Vote early, vote Aug. 7, vote absentee, vote in person. Vote however you want to, just vote intentionally. No one said having the right to shape our democracy meant we could be lazy about it. It’s always easier to sit back and be apathetic. But this is worth your effort. If we don’t vote, we certainly don’t have the right to complain.

Let your dollar be heard Guest Column by
Stefan Hatfield It’s the late 1800s and business in America is booming. Through steel and oil, giants like Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller are starting a revolution of their own. This is the age of big business, and priorities were changing. Efficiency was king, above all else. In my opinion, a business has a social responsibility to its community beyond just selling products. They have the responsibility to solve problems in the community. Problems like sustainability, employment and poverty. Business can either be good or bad. Some businesses will care about these issues, and some will not.

Cullen Hamelin From the playground from which we came, let’s rekindle an old memory we have all witnessed. There is one child teasing another in jest, and all eyes are trained on the victim. The young child can save his dignity in one of three ways: teasing back verbally, retaliating physically or threatening an act of war on the United States. Upon catching wind of James Franco and Seth Rogen’s upcoming film “The Interview,” the leader of North Korea recently chose the latter. In a letter to the United Nations, reigning dictator Kim Jong-un declared this movie as an act of terror, stating that North Korea would partake in “merci-

less countermeasures” unless its release is cancelled. Admittedly, the movie directly targets a current world leader. How would we react if they made a movie about attempting to kill our president? Sure, there would be controversy. But we have already broadcasted numerous television shows and movies that poke fun at the president and other officials. In this case, however, the stakes are higher. As a result, there has been much debate about the First Amendment. While many feel hesitant to risk billions of dollars and many lives over a comedy flick, there are also many who believe preventing the release would constitute an infringement of free speech. And I agree. A comedy film is hardly worth losing lives or money, as I’m sure Rogen and Franco would admit. But if this movie is halted, how might that reflect on our anti-censorship stance? Where would
people draw the line between acceptable and unacceptable speech? Are we to bend to the demands of other countries? Moreover, free expression within this country must also be upheld. In fact, North Korea is featured in this movie because their government utterly represses individual rights and freedoms. Phil Robertson, deputy Asia director at Human Rights Watch, has noted Kim Jong-un’s use of “public executions, extensive political prison camps and brutal forced labor” in his nation. Maybe North Korea deserves to be the butt of the joke, this time. But, without question, one thing about this issue unequivocally rings true: if this movie does come out, thus causing Kim Jong-un to start his “merciless countermeasures,” it better be really funny.

Today, corporations dominate the market. And we are suffering because of it. Constant competition and quarterly goals are their sole priorities. They often fail to act ethically or provide for their customers. Frequently, companies move manufacturing overseas, causing workers to lose their jobs. Exhibit A: Apple’s infamous Chinese factories. With large businesses, the person making decisions is simply too detached from their customer and from the consequences of their actions. So what can we do? What possible impact can a single person make on billion dollar companies? You’re not going to throw away your iPhone, and even if you did, let’s be honest: it’s not going to make a $566 billion company to change their practices. Instead, “think globally, and act locally.” Every dollar you have is an investment, a vote of confidence in the company you’re giving it to. Although

Lady Vols make most of offseason ‘The Beast’ returns for last season Scott Carter Contributor The Lady Vols basketball squad is building a bond and preparing for a tough schedule in the upcoming 2014-15 season during their summer break. The Lady Vols lost senior Meighan Simmons to the WNBA, and the Lady Vols need to replace her dynamic scoring and outside shooting presence. The Tennessee team will partly count on, rising senior guard Ariel Massengale, who missed the majority of last season with an injury but is recovering after surgery. “There’s still a timetable with the surgery,� Massengale said. “I’m hoping by August when we come back to school I’ll be 100 percent ready to go.� Before suffering a facial injury against Florida Jan. 23, the Bolingbrook, Ill. native was in the midst of her best season yet. In 14 of her 19 starts she had at least five assists or more and recorded back-to-back 20-plus point outings for the first time. “I think sitting out the rest of last season was one of the best things for me,� she said.
“It definitely helped me. The head feels great, I’m cleared with that, and I’m just ready to get out there. I don’t have any fears or any worries going back out there with it.� Head coach Holly Warlick believes that Massengale’s leadership abilities are just as crucial as her scoring efforts to team success. “I’m not so much concerned about (the outside shooting) but the thing is, we need her leadership and need her on that aspect,� Warlick said. “As far as being on the floor and leading by example. We’ve missed that from a point guard, though I’ll tell you that Andraya (Carter) and Jordan (Reynolds) have done a great job.� Newcomers Tennessee has added four new players to the roster, one being North Carolina transfer Diamond DeShields, who won NCAA Freshman Player of the Year last season. Though DeShields must wait out a mandatory year before playing, her presence alone could give the Lady Vols a boost. “I think Diamond can contribute just with her experience and what she’s been through,� Warlick said. “Her love for the
game, her love for this program, what a great example she’s been as far as being a team player, she’s a great player.� Three incoming freshmen have arrived in time for the second summer session and have already impressed the coaching staff. Warlick believes that Jaime Nared and Kortney Dunbar both can help with outside shooting while McDonalds All-American Game standout Alexa Middleton brings a special toughness to the court. “The three freshmen are three unbelievable competitors,� she said. “I think at times that’s what we’ve missed. They compete, they love to work, and they love to work hard. It’s a great addition to this team.� For now the Lady Vols main focus will be to develop camaraderie before the season begins, which includes a home game against Stanford and a trip to Notre Dame. “I think championships are built in the offseason,� Warlick said. “That builds character, it builds trust, it builds team unity and team togetherness. I think that all those combined is where a team gets to know each other. I think it’s huge for us.�
Patrick MacCoon Sports Editor (@PatrickMacCoon) HOOVER, Ala. – Some players pay attention to records more so than others, but that is not the case for one of the top tackles in Tennessee football history. Throughout A.J. “The Beast� Johnson’s career at Tennessee he has been a tackle machine. In 18 of his 36 career starts, the senior linebacker has recorded double digits in tackles, earning him a chance to make a huge climb in the school’s record books this season. He’s currently outside of the program’s all-time top 10 leading tacklers, with 324 career bring downs, Johnson can move all the way up to second on the list if he can record 90 tackles in the 2014 season. This shouldn’t be a challenge for the Preseason First Team AllSEC selection, as he totaled a conference leading 138 tackles as a sophomore and 106 as a junior. “When people tell me stuff like that I wouldn’t even know it happened if they hadn’t,� Johnson said at SEC Media Days July 15. “If I see it on Twitter I would think that it was cool, but I don’t feed into anything like that.� Johnson already ranks third in school history for the most assisted
tackles at 164, but he wouldn’t know that either. “All I know is each day I am going to go the hardest I can and be the best I can,� he said. “It would be great for me to break records but I am more worried about the team and what we are going to do the first game. The focus is on this season and not myself.� Johnson decided to come back for his final season despite being projected to be picked up in the later rounds of the NFL Draft. “It was one of the toughest decisions I’ve had to make so far,� he said. “There were two things that really sold me on coming back to Tennessee. I came here to build the program up and help bring back a winning program. I have one more year to do that and get some wins and leave a winner.� Something else that influenced his decision was his education, as he knows that life is more than just about football. “I get to graduate in December and leave with a degree,� he said. “That’s going to help me throughout life.� When considering his decision, the communications major also couldn’t look past the importance of getting to play with his best friend for one more season. “Curt (Maggitt) didn’t pres-
sure me or anything,� he said. “He just let me play it out and talked with me throughout the decision. I know he has my back and I have his. We’ve been roommates since freshman year, it all plays together.� While the Vols have continued to bring in huge recruits this offseason, second-year head coach Butch Jones said that the teams biggest ‘brick’ was the return of their senior leader. “We are excited to have A.J. back,� Jones said at SEC Media Days in Hoover, Alabama. “He means so much to our football team, being our middle linebacker. He’s the quarterback of our defense.� Johnson is considered one of the best linebackers in the country for the upcoming 2014 season, and Jones said Johnson has the opportunity to be even better this season. “Returning gives him the opportunity to improve his coverage skills,� Jones said. “It can also help him with his overall knowledge of the game, and to get bigger and stronger as well as be able to play at the next level.� This season Johnson will not be anxious to see his name among the tackle leaders after the games, instead he will be focused on helping his team add to the win column.

Patrick MacCoon: Joshua Dobbs This sophomore quarterback has the best chance to start the season, as he fits the style of offense that Butch Jones prefers over his seven years of being a head coach. While at Central Michigan for three seasons, Jones’ leading rusher was dual-threat quarterback Dan LeFevour, who averaged 180 rushes per season and 809 yards under the hurry-up style offense. Then with the Cincinnati Bearcats (2010-12) he had Zach Collaros and Munchie Legaux to play with, who combined for 18 rushing touchdowns. Jones’ track record shows he likes to run the ball, and not just with his running backs. A dual-threat quarterback can only help the Vols this season, who have a brand new offensive line that will enter the SEC almost completely untested. In Dobbs’ five starts at quarterback he literally hitting the ground running. Even at the beginning of the season, Jones made it clear that he wanted to have a quarterback that could move the chains with his legs and pick up five-yard chunks at a time. That is not something Worley did, as he ran the ball 19 times for 52 yards in eight starts.
On the other hand, the true freshman took command with his legs and ran the ball 38 times for 189 yards. Every single game he had a run of over 10 yards, which included longs of 11, 14, 32, 33 and 40 (touchdown vs. Kentucky). Not only was Dobbs more aggressive at the position, but also his accuracy was also better than Worley’s. After being thrown in the fire midway through the Alabama game, the 6-foot-3, 203-pound quarterback put forth four straight starts in which he completed at least 58 percent of passes. In three of those five starts he completed over 60.9 percent of his passes. While Worley has the case to make for the starting job, being a senior and returning healthy, why not have another playmaker that is not limited to just throwing the ball. As good as the Tennessee receivers will be, they cannot get open every play. A dual-threat quarterback that has experience under his belt now fits this team the best.
LEGACY
“(The coaches) want to bring the winning tradition back to the program, which is what everybody wants,” Kelly said. “They just want to win games, and I want to be a part of that.” The excitement of the whole class can be seen in Vic Wharton III. When asked about the role the legacy class will play this
season and in the future, a smile broke across his face. “I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life,” he said. “I can’t believe we’re all finally here. Our impact can come from how hard we want to work, from how bad we want it.”
continued from Page 1 “I loved Tennessee football when I was a kid,” Kelly said. “I came to all the home games and got to see Eric Berry, Jerod Mayo, Inky Johnson and Robert
Meachem all play. “I’m a local guy, and I’ve seen the fans struggle with four losing seasons in a row.” One of the reasons Kelly decided to play for the Vols was because of the enthusiasm Butch Jones and his staff shared for bringing the program back to what it once was.
