Tennessee tight end Holden Staes has a basic but ambitious objective for his junior season with the Volunteers after spending the past two years at Notre Dame.
Be everything.
“I kind of just want to be that overall tight end who can get busy in the run game, open up holes for the running backs, play out in space and block with the receivers out in space,” Staes said Saturday afternoon in a news conference. “Obviously I want to get the ball in my hands and be a downfield playmaker for this team and a big red-zone threat as well.
“I just want to do it all for this offense.”
The Volunteers held their 10th spring practice Saturday and are closing in on next Saturday’s Orange & White Game inside Neyland Stadium.
