Josh Heupel recaps Tennessee’s first spring practice

Tennessee kicked off spring practices Tuesday at Haslam Field.

Following practice, second-year Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel met with media. Heupel recapped the Vols’ first spring practice.

“Excited today to get an opportunity get out on the field and be with our guys,” Heupel said. “Loved what they did in the first quarter of our offseason with strength and conditioning. A ton of growth for them and continued functional development as football players. I thought you could see some of those things just in the way they took the grass today and competed.

“Today was a great start, great energy. Which it should be on day one. I’m proud of the growth that we’ve had and some of the things we saw out there today. I can’t wait to watch the video and meet with our guys on the backend of it.”
