Tennessee Football Players Named To Coaches All-SEC Coaches

University of Tennessee football players Velus Jones Jr., Theo Jackson and Cade Mays were each named to the Coaches All-SEC postseason teams. This marks the second time in three seasons that the Volunteers had at least three players named to the postseason All-SEC teams.

Jones earned first-team honors as an all-purpose player and a return specialist. Jones is the first Vol to earn all-conference honors as an all-purpose player since Evan Berry in 2015. He is the only player in the nation with 700-plus receiving yards (722), 500-plus kickoff return yards (506) and 200-plus punt return yards (272). He ranks third in the SEC in all-purpose yards, averaging 126.3 per game.

Jackson earned All-SEC second team recognition at defensive back after turning in the best season of his collegiate career. The super senior led all SEC defensive backs with a career-high nine tackles for loss and ranked third in the league with 12 passes defended, which was also a career high. The Nashville native set career bests in tackles (73) and sacks (1.5) as well.

Mays joined Jackson as a second-team selection after being named the SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week twice this season following standout performances in wins at Missouri and Kentucky. Tennessee finished the year ranked fourth in the SEC and 16th nationally in total offense (459 ypg).

UT’s rushing attack was especially effective, ranking third in the conference and 19th in the country with 212 rushing yards per contest. The Big Orange also ranked third in the league and ninth in the FBS in scoring offense, averaging 38.8 points per game.

 

 

Baseball Reporter Ken Rosenthal To Headline Lipscomb’s First Pitch Dinner

Lipscomb baseball’s 7th annual First Pitch Dinner will be headlined by award-winning baseball reporter Ken Rosenthal on Jan. 29 and the Shinn Center.

Rosenthal is one of baseball’s premier reporters who works for The Athletic, MLB Network and serves as a sideline reporter for Fox Sports baseball coverage.

The doors will open at 6 p.m. CT for a Bisons meet and greet followed by dinner and a live auction. Items up for auction include vacations, game experiences and other memorabilia.

Tickets for the annual dinner are not required, but guest donations to the program are encouraged and appreciated. Limited VIP tables will be available for purchase, which will grant purchasers a private meet and greet with Rosenthal and also includes a photo. You will also receive the choice of a player or coach to sit at your table.

Annual proceeds from the Bullpen Club are put directly towards supporting Lipscomb student-athletes, coaches, and staff. This support helps with upgrades to the Ken Dugan Field at Marsh Stadium, the purchase of additional training equipment, supplements to the travel budget, and acquiring additional items which allow the coaches and players to reach their highest potential.
