Tennessee announces date for Orange and White Game

The annual scrimmage is set.

Tennessee Football has announced the date of the annual Orange and White Game, which will cap spring practices as always. The Volunteers will take to Neyland Stadium on Saturday, April 12th for their yearly public scrimmage.

About a month of spring practices will lead up to the event. The start time and television (likely streaming) will be announced at a later date.

The spring game has turned into our first look at prospects from the previous signing class. It’s provided early glimpses at guys like Nico Iamaleava, Mike Matthews, DeSean Bishop and Ethan Davis in recent seasons. Of course, the looks from the staff will be extremely vanilla as the main goal will be to keep starters healthy and not put anything new on tape.

Top names of interest this season will be five-star tackle David Sanders, along with the remade offensive line. It’s going to be our first look at receiver Amari Jefferson, who is expected to be in the top rotation right off the bat. Extended looks at the incoming freshman receiver class will be interesting as well with how the depth stands currently.

Official dates for spring ball will likely come in early March.
