KNOXVILLE – Tennessee will be represented by a trio of seniors at next week’s Southeastern Conference Media Days event in Hoover, Ala.
Offensive guard Jashon Robertson, cornerback Emmanuel Moseley and defensive tackle Kendal Vickers will each make their SEC Media Days debuts on Monday, when Tennessee takes its turn on the first day of the annual event.
The league announced a schedule and player representatives on Wednesday for the four-day event that serves as an unofficial kickoff to college football’s preseason.
Tennessee’s contingent is lacking in stardom, but it includes three players who have diligently progressed through the program and provided steady on-field contributions. Each are the most-experienced player at their respective position.
Tennessee’s Kendal Vickers (39) tackles Florida’s Jordan Scarlett (25). The Florida Gators visited the Tennessee Volunteers in a important SEC football contest at Neyland Stadium on September 24, 2016.Vickers is a fifth-year senior who has started 25 games the last two seasons while the Volunteers dealt with injuries on the defensive line. The Havelock, N.C. native, who once was committed to South Carolina, posted a career-high seven tackles in UT’s loss to the Gamecocks last season.
