KNOXVILLE – The Tennessee football program will roll into SEC Media Days next week with considerably less hype than a year ago, when a trio of star seniors – Joshua Dobbs, Jalen Reeves-Maybin and Cam Sutton – represented a team picked to win the Southeastern Conference’s East Division.

This year, coach Butch Jones could have tried to generate a buzz around the Volunteers by tabbing a group of emerging juniors from visible position groups to represent them at the annual offseason frenzy.

Instead, he opted for seniority over potential stardom.

Cornerback Emmanuel Moseley, offensive guard Jashon Robertson and defensive tackle Kendal Vickers, all seniors, will represent the Vols in front of the hundreds of journalists who will assemble at the Wynfrey Hotel in Hoover, Ala., on Monday when Tennessee takes its turn on the opening day of the four-day event.
