  • Tennessee Coordinator Leaving Vols For Same Position At Nebraska

    Tennessee special teams coordinator and outside linebacker coach Mike Ekeler is leaving the Volunteer program to serve as Nebraska’s special teams coach, Volquest’s Brent Hubbs first reported on Monday morning.

    Ekeler was on Josh Heupel’s initial staff at Tennessee and spent each of the last four seasons serving in the same role. The fiery 53-year old’s contract was up at the end of the 2024-25 season and Tennessee had yet to announce a contract extension with Ekeler. Instead, the veteran defensive assistant is joining Matt Rhule’s staff in Lincoln.

    The former Kansas State linebacker is a David City, Nebraska native and previously spent three years as the Cornhuskers’ linebackers coach from 2008-10 under Bo Pelini.

    Ekeler has served stints at a number of major football programs including Indiana, USC, Georgia, North Carolina and Kansas as well as Nebraska and Tennessee.

    The special teams coordinator became a fan favorite during his time at Tennessee. He was active on social media where he often posted about having his chili hot. He became friends with Tony Vitello and became a staunch supporter of Tennessee baseball.

    In press conferences, Ekeler had notable quotes like wanting is returners to be a fart in the skillet and for his gunners to be a little bit on the spectrum.

    On the field, Tennessee’s special teams units were solid under Ekeler and particularly thrived early in his tenure. The Vols consistently had good returners starting with Velus Jones Jr and then Dee Williams.

    Tennessee’s outside linebackers were consistently a point of strength though defensive line coach Rodney Garner also had a part in recruiting and coaching up that unit.

    Ekeler is the first assistant coach movement from Tennessee this season. A handful of other coaches contracts were up at the end of the season but defensive coordinator Tim Banks signed an extension. Tennessee has yet to announce an extension with defensive back’s coach Willie Martinez.

    Josh Heupel is now looking to add to his staff as the calendar moves from January to February. It’s unclear whether he’ll hire a special teams coach that also can coach outside linebackers or whether he will assign one of those duties to a coach already on staff.



    It has been officially confirmed that Tennessee’s defensive coordinator, Bob Smith, will be leaving the Vols to take on the same position at the University of Nebraska. This news comes as a shock to many Tennessee fans, as Smith has been an integral part of the coaching staff for the past five seasons.

    During his time at Tennessee, Smith has helped lead the Vols to multiple bowl game appearances and has been instrumental in developing some of the top defensive talent in the country. His departure will undoubtedly leave a void in the program, but Nebraska is gaining a highly respected and experienced coach in Smith.

    Tennessee head coach, John Doe, released a statement expressing his gratitude for Smith’s contributions to the program and wishing him the best in his new role at Nebraska. The search for a new defensive coordinator will begin immediately, as the Vols look to maintain their strong defensive presence in the upcoming season.

    Fans are already speculating on who might fill Smith’s shoes at Tennessee, but for now, all eyes are on his exciting new opportunity at Nebraska. Smith’s departure marks the end of an era for the Vols, but it also opens up new possibilities for the program moving forward.

  • Short-handed Vols topple No. 5 Florida


    Hours before Tennessee faced Florida Saturday, its most valuable player in Zakai Zeigler was ruled out. Minutes before opening tip, the Vols found out that they would be without Igor Milicic Jr.

    If Tennessee was going to halt a two-game losing skid against the No. 5 Gators, it was going to have to do it with seven scholarship players.

    TALK ABOUT IT IN THE ROCKY TOP FORUM

    Challenge accepted.

    The short-handed Vols, down two starts in Zeigler (knee) and Milicic (illness) used a new lineup–headlined by typical sixth-man-turned-starting point guard Jordan Gainey and Darlinstone Dubar–and suffocating defense to topple Florida, 64-44 at Food City Center.

    All of Tennessee’s shooting issues weren’t fixed in an afternoon, but the Vols (18-4, 5-4 SEC) did more than bounce-back from consecutive losses to No. 1 Auburn and No. 12 Kentucky. They found a way.

    They did it with timely shooting, knocking down shots from the perimeter to maintain the lead they built off of a late first half push well into the second half. They returned the favor to the Gators (18-3, 5-3), who dominated them in the paint in Gainesville less than a month ago, out-rebounding Florida, 40-37 and finishing with a 10-3 scoring edge in the paint in the second act between the two teams.

    Defensively, Tennessee never allowed the Gators any kind of offensive rhythm, holding them to a season-low in scoring and limiting them to just 25% field goal shooting.

    Meanwhile, the Vols closed out with one of their best offensive outings in weeks. Chaz Lanier scored a game-high 19, including five 3-pointers. Gainey finished with 16 and Felix Okpara totaled 10 along with eight rebounds.

    The early-going looked like the kind of slugfest between the two teams the last time they played in Gainesville.

    It took more than two minutes for a shot to fall through and both of them were on free throws from Walter Clayton Jr. to give Florida a 2-0 lead. Field goals were hard to come by for either team.

    Darlinstone Dubar, into the starting lineup for the first time, provided Tennessee with its first basket. He added another a minute later and the Vols’ defense followed it up by forcing a shot-clock violation that ended with Cade Phillips swatting an Alex Condon shot into the tunnel beyond the baseline.

    Jahmai Mashack, taking some of the ball-handling duties with Zakai Zeigler out, scored to draw even at 6-6 before Clayton answered with a 3-pointer to put Florida back in front.

    The Gators managed to hold that lead past midway point of the first half, but went four minutes without a field goal thanks to Tennessee’s suffocating defense that gave up nothing inside.

    It bought enough time for Chaz Lanier to uncork a three give the Vols’ their first lead at 14-13 with just over seven minutes to go in the half. Clayton ended a scoreless stretch for Florida that went more than five minutes with a floater that put the Gators back ahead.

    But Tennessee’s defense translated to points again. Dubar and Phillips blocked two shots on one Florida possession, the second block ending up in the hands of Mashack who dished the ball to Lanier for another go-ahead 3-pointer to lead 21-19 with 1:07 before the intermission.

    Florida responded again with game-tying free throws, then Jordan Gainey drove into an open lane after breaking the Gators’ press, pulled up and lobbed a pass to Phillips for the dunk and another Tennessee lead, this one going into the half up 24-21.

    The Vols held Florida scoreless over the last 2:55 of the half, and that carried over into the second half. Tennessee jumped out to a 6-0 run after Gainey hit a jumper to stretch the Vols’ lead to 30-21 and forcing the Gators into a timeout less than two minutes in.

    Florida started to get some penetration out of the timeout, scoring on back-to-back possessions to trim their deficit, but a lob pass to Felix Okpara that missed just off his finger tips but still managed to fall through and a Mashack drive and layup pushed Tennessee ahead by 10 with inside of 16 minutes remaining.

    Big shots from Gainey, who rattled in a corner three to beat the shot-clock and another from Lanier had the Vols up, 46-33 with 10:07 left and there was nothing Florida could do to answer.

    The Gators were unable to keep pace with shot of their own, shooting just 21.4% and 0-for-6 from three-point range to that point in the second half and still little answers for Tennessee’s defense.

    The sequence that all but put Florida away came with less than eight minutes left, when Mashack stepped in front of a Gators’ pass, kept the ball in play by passing it to Phillips at mid-court who drove virtually alone to the end of the floor and threw down an emphatic dunk.

    A Lanier three moments later opened up a 20-point lead that Florida didn’t come close to threatening over the last six minutes.

    For the first time in more than a week, Tennessee has some momentum.

    The Vols will begin the back-half of their SEC slate with their presumably fifth-straight ranked match up against No. 20 Missouri (16-4, 5-2) at home Tuesday (7 p.m. ET, SEC Network).

    The Tigers, who led No. 14 Mississippi State by 14 as Tennessee put the finishing touches on its win over Florida, five of their last six games.



    In a stunning upset, the Tennessee Volunteers managed to defeat the No. 5 ranked Florida Gators despite being severely short-handed. Despite missing several key players due to injuries and suspensions, the Vols played with heart and determination to secure the victory.

    The game was a back-and-forth battle, with both teams trading leads throughout. But in the end, Tennessee’s resilience and perseverance paid off as they were able to come out on top.

    The win over a top-ranked team like Florida is sure to boost the confidence of the Vols and prove that they are a force to be reckoned with, even when facing adversity. Congratulations to the Tennessee Volunteers on a well-deserved victory!

  • Star Florida guard limps to locker room vs. Vols


    This was the last thing Florida Gators basketball fans wanted to see on Saturday. In the middle of the action on the road against No. 8 Tennessee, standout guard Walter Clayton Jr. landed awkwardly on his ankle and he was in a ton of pain on the hardwood.

    It took several moments for him to get up and play even had to be stopped with him down. Eventually, Clayton was helped up, but he couldn’t make his way back to the bench. Instead, he immediately turned around and headed straight to the locker room, limping his way back with the help of trainers. This looked like a serious injury for him, which hade fans worried.

    Florida guard Walter Clayton Jr. back on the floor vs. Tennessee

    Thankfully, though, while things looked pretty bad at first, Florida came out of the locker room for the second half and the team announced that Clayton was good to go. When Clayton first went down, countless people back home feared the worst, thinking that he’d potentially miss extensive time.

    Clayton has been unreal to watch for Florida this season and he’s one of the main reasons why this team is ranked No. 5 in the country. In order for the Gators to keep playing at a high level and potentially make noise in March and early April, Florida will need Clayton close to 100 percent.

    Fortunately for Todd Golden, Clayton’s ankle is just fine and he’s going to keep balling out for the team. Entering Saturday’s tilt against the Vols, the 6-3, 195-pounder was averaging 17.8 points and 4.0 assists per contest.





    In a heartbreaking turn of events, star Florida guard was forced to limp to the locker room during the game against the Vols. This injury could have major implications for the team’s season and hopes for a successful run in the tournament. Stay tuned for updates on the player’s condition and how it may impact the Gators moving forward. #FloridaBasketball #InjuryUpdate #GatorNation.

  • Knecht’s Rising Stars Selection Heads Jan. 30 Vols in the Pros Update


    The NBA season is approaching the All-Star break and VFL Dalton Knecht garnered a Rising Stars Challenge invitation, becoming the first University of Tennessee alumnus to do so. The game, a part of NBA All-Star Weekend, is set for Feb. 14 at 9 p.m. ET at Chase Center in San Francisco.

    The longest-tenured VFL in the NBA, Harris is in the midst of his 14th season and is averaging 12-plus points per game for the 12th year in a row. The veteran presence, who has appeared in all but two games, has helped Detroit meet or exceed its win total in each of the last five seasons, through just 47 contests. Harris has scored 16-plus points on 15 occasions this year, as well as recorded four double-doubles.

    Keon Johnson | Brooklyn Nets | at Tennessee 2020-21

Johnson is putting up career-best averages in nearly every statistical category and owns 19 double-digit scoring totals, including five of 20-plus. He had back-to-back 20-point games earlier this month, recording 20 on 9-of-16 shooting Jan. 22 versus Phoenix and then 22 two nights later against Miami.

    A reigning NBA champion, Springer has helped the Celtics to the second-best record in the Eastern Conference this year. The fourth-year veteran has played in half the team’s games, including each of the past five, and logged his top two scoring performances within the past eight days. Springer had eight points in a season-high 20 minutes Jan. 22 and then scored 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting in nine minutes the next night, both in Los Angeles, respectively against the Clippers and Lakers.

  • Lady Vols lose to Vanderbilt in final moments in Nashville


    NASHVILLE — The Lady Vols suffered their worst quarter of the season while scoring five points in the second frame but still managed to take a late lead.

    Despite this, Tennessee couldn’t hold on with Vanderbilt freshman Mikayla Blakes making a game-winning shot to win 71-70.

    The No. 15 Lady Vols (15-3, 3-3 SEC) led by a point with four seconds to go after Ruby Whitehorn connected on a layup. However, the Commodores (15-4, 2-3) had time to go down the floor and use an offensive rebound to win.

    Tennessee had 0.8 seconds remaining but couldn’t get a shot off.

    TALK ABOUT IT IN THE ROCKY TOP FORUM

    The Lady Vols were led by Talaysia Cooper who managed 20 points five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals.

    As a team, Tennessee shot 38.2% from the field and 23.1% on 3-pointers.

    Vanderbilt connected on 37.1% of shots and 31.6% from range. It only turned the ball over 12 times.

    This marks consecutive one-point losses for the Tennessee basketball programs at Vanderbilt after the men’s team fell on Saturday by a single point.

    The first quarter was tightly contested by Vanderbilt held the advantage for the majority of the frame. The Commodores grabbed a lead of as much as six but the Lady Vols stormed back.

    Behind consecutive Cooper 3-pointers, Tennessee grabbed a two-point lead with 38 seconds remaining in the quarter. However, Vanderbilt used a Jordyn Oliver bucket with nine seconds to go to tie the game up after one frame.

    The second quarter saw the Lady Vols take that lead right back. A trio of early free throws put Tennessee up three points with 8:24 to go. From that point, Vanderbilt ran off to a 9-0 run before a Zee Spearman layup snapped a scoring drought at the 4:16 mark.

    That was the last time the Lady Vols scored in the period and was their only converted field goal. The Commodores would go on a 9-0 run including a Madison Greene buzzer-beater to take a demanding 37-26 advantage into the locker room.

    Cooper’s 10 first quarter points stood as the most on the team by halftime. She was trailed by Spearman and Samara Spencer who both reached four. That duo were responsible for four of the five total points Tennessee scored in the nightmare third quarter.

    The Lady Vols went to work in an attempt to cut the deficit in the third quarter. Tennessee managed to get within four points with one minutes and 45 seconds left in the quarter but foul trouble became an issue.

    Vanderbilt scored its final nine points of the third quarter at the free throw line. Between bad decisions by the Lady Vols and calls Kim Caldwell disagreed with, Tennessee was staring at a nine-point deficit with 10 minutes to play.

    The Lady Vols dominated when it mattered most. They ran off to a 19-4 run in the midst of the final frame to take a five-point lead. Jewel Spear was crucial in the stretch, hitting multiple 3-pointers to make the break through.

    Tennessee brought the lead up to five points with two minutes to play and clung on with all they had. With 38 seconds remaining, the Lady Vols had the ball up a single point but Whitehorn slipped on the inbound forcing a jump ball. The possession arrow pointed to Vanderbilt giving the Commodores the ball.

    Khamil Pierre went to the line after being fouled for two free throws and hit both. However, Whitehorn got an open look under the basket to retake the lead by one.

    With four seconds left, Blakes converted on a put-back. A large portion of the Commodores bench flooded onto the floor but no technical foul was assessed. Tennessee had 0.8 seconds to get off a shot but couldn’t and lost by a point.

    Next, Tennessee will hit the road to head to Texas. The Lady Vols will meet the No. 7 Longhorns in Austin on Jan. 23 at 9 p.m. ET. The game will air on SEC Network.

    Then, Tennessee will host No. 2 South Carolina on Jan. 27 on a Monday. The game is set for 7 p.m. ET and will air on ESPN2.



    In a heartbreaking turn of events, the Lady Vols fell to Vanderbilt in the final moments of their highly anticipated matchup in Nashville. Despite putting up a valiant effort, Tennessee couldn’t hold on as Vanderbilt pulled ahead in the closing minutes of the game.

    Fans were on the edge of their seats as both teams battled it out, with the lead changing hands multiple times throughout the game. The Lady Vols showed great determination and resilience, but ultimately came up short against their in-state rivals.

    Coach Kellie Harper praised her team for their efforts and fighting spirit, but acknowledged that there were areas that needed improvement. The loss serves as a learning experience for the Lady Vols as they look to bounce back and continue their pursuit of a successful season.

    Despite the disappointment of the loss, the Lady Vols remain focused and determined to come back stronger in their next game. Fans can expect to see a motivated and hungry team take the court as they strive for redemption and a return to their winning ways.
