The Tennessee Volunteers are the only SEC school that have sent a counselor and commit to the 2015 Elite 11 Finals currently underway at Nike World Headquarters in Oregon. All initial reports indicate the Volunteer representatives are showing out, which is sure to make Butch and Vol Nation smile about the future of their program.

Could make good argument #Vols have two best QBs at #Elite11. Current QB Joshua Dobbs looks great & pledge Jarrett Guarantano spinning it.

Camp attendee Jarrett Guarantano:

But don't think for a second that the Nike camp is interfering with Joshua Dobbs education, as the Tennessee quarterback was seen hitting the books during his time off.

That's obviously the type of time management skills necessary to successfully complete a Systems Dynamics course, whatever those two words mean.

The Volunteers appear to have the talent, smarts and leadership now in place at the game's most important position on the field. Now can they help push the team towards an SEC championship?

If nothing else, both players will help put Tennessee in position to compete, and that's all Butch Jones and company can ask for.
