Tennessee spring practice week number one is in the books.

Faison Brandon, George McIntyre, who has looked better?

You are locked on balls, your daily podcast on the Tennessee Volunteers.

Part of the Locked on Podcast Network, your team every day.

Thank you, Friday afternoon, everybody. Welcome into Locked-on Vols. I am Eric Kane.

We got Boogie Bentley from the Talking Vols Network here for a little bonus content on a Friday

afternoon. And this episode is presented by the great people over at Mazda. They put the drive

into every detail. Wins to find the moment putting in the work. That defines you. That defines Boogie. He puts in that work. Stay tuned for later on the show for today's moving the game forward. There's more to a Mazda because there is more to you. All right. Spring football practice. What's to come next week? What you want to hear from? But first, George McIntyre, Faison, Brandon. Boogie, I know you haven't been at practice, and quite frankly, I've been to all three or four of them, three of them that they've had so far. And we barely get to see anything. And also what we do get to see, it's not like they're really airing it out or anything. But I have some quarterback takeaways. But I'll tell you those, but based on what you've read and heard and talk with and spoken to, what's your impression of the quarterback so far, George McIntyre and Faison, here in Springball. Look, I love Spring Camp, right? I love spring ball. I love overreaction season. I love jumping on Twitter. And, man, we're going undefeated win a national championship because the way that Faison Brandon spins the rock. Meanwhile, we got Tristan Keyes coming back from an injury and running around at, I don't know, 50, 60 percent. And he's the worst commitment we've ever gotten in the history of college football. It is overreaction season, but I'm here for it. I overreact. I get excited. And from the quarterback perspective, it's kind of right where I thought it would be. Man, you see Faison Brandon out there moving around. He just looks the part, right? Like he looks like an SEC football player day one when he arrived on campus. Meanwhile, on the flip side of that, man, George, George Maggattire carries himself like QB1. He's the first one going through drills. It's what you would expect. It's why I think George Magintyre has a leg up in this quarterback competition. And I think most people agree it's because by the time fall rolls around, by the time game one rolls around, he'll have been in this system for what, 18 months, something like that, similar to Nico in the time that he was in this system. I think that gives George the advantage.

But look, at the end of the day, whether it's George Magatire or his Faison, Brandon, it doesn't matter. This is what you want. This is what you come to Tennessee for. Two guys, I'm going to call Georgia five star because I don't care that he didn't throwing shorts in a T-shirt. I don't care that he wasn't at the elite 11.

He was a highly ranked prospect coming out of high school.

You got two five-star quarterbacks going to competition, let the chips fall where they may, let the best man win, and then let's go play football, man. There's a lot of talent. You couldn't ask for a better situation for a red shirt freshman or a freshman to walk into than the amount of talent Tennessee has on offense. No doubt.

You're walking into a great situation. situation for a red shirt freshman or a freshman to walk into than the amount of talent

Tennessee has on offense.

No doubt.

You're walking into a great situation.

I did a show about that a couple of weeks ago.

I mean, Brayland Staley, Mike Matthews, each over 800 yards receiving, a thousand-yard

rush in the backfield, five starters with experience on the offensive line coming back,

and a defense that statistically,

I mean, I guess you can, you never want to say never, but goodness gracious, you're going to be

better. I don't care if it's year one or whatever gym knows. You're going to be better defensively.

So you're walking into a good situation on the TK Keyes situation. I saw posts on the GQ the other day.
