  Draft Scout by Conference









  Joe Milton knows he could have left Tennessee football this offseason if he wanted to. The senior quarterback had dropped to the backup quarterback spot behind Hendon Hooker, his classmate who is entrenched in the starting role. But he didn't think about looking to transfer. "For what?" Milton said Sunday. "No reason to. I am having fun. I am learning something new every day. I am enjoying life." Milton is back for the Vols for a second season alongside Hooker, the senior starter. He chose to stay in Knoxville opposed to transferring for the second straight season.

Milton started two games after transferring from Michigan prior to the 2021 season. He was 32-for-62 passing for 375 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. "I wouldn't say I lost the starting job, "Milton said. "In life you face a lot of adversity. You want to kind of find your way through tough things in life." The 6-foot-5, 245-pound Milton is living a different life this preseason than he was a year ago. He entered this time last year in a four-person battle to be the starting quarterback. He ultimately won the spot and opened the season as the starter. Hooker was the backup. Milton suffered an injury against Pittsburgh on Sept. 11, which he said was two torn ligaments in his ankle. Hooker entered, performed well and never surrendered the starting job. - Knoxville News Sentinel
