Highly-touted freshman QB Harrison Bailey now practicing at Tennessee
Tennessee’s highly rated freshman quarterback is back at practice. Harrison Bailey, a top-100 overall prospect out of Marietta, Georgia, was featured in Volunteers practice photos from Tuesday sent to media outlets.
On Friday of last week, UT head coach Jeremy Pruitt told reporters that Bailey had not yet been able to practice due to being in quarantine.
“He has not practiced,” Pruitt said after practice. “The last press conference I told y’all we had some guys that were in some social quarantine. He’s one of the guys that is.”
Pruitt did not specify whether Bailey had tested positive for the coronavirus or was being sidelined as part of COVID-19 contact tracing. Bailey enrolled at Tennessee in January. As an early enrollee, Bailey was able to take part in UT’s spring practice. The Volunteers were able to hold 3 practices before the NCAA shut down all spring sports in March due to the coronavirus outbreak.
In addition to Bailey, Tennessee returns 3 quarterbacks from last season: senior Jarrett Guarantano and sophomores Brian Maurer and J.T. Shrout.

Finally a little bit of good news.
Now if we can only get the the ncaa would pull their head out of their arse and grant immediate eligibility to Cade Mays!
That’s a pretty good qb room. If Bailey turns out as many anticipate, I expect one or both sophomores to transfer next season. It’s the way of the world now.
youre right on there, especially with another Elite 11 QB enrolling early this year
Hey LSUSMC……put your lifejacket on. Prayers coming your way!
I live in Florida, but my mom and brother are right in the path. So far, they haven’t left. My nephew is an Aggie, so they are considering going there. Who knows
Good luck to the family MC.
Thank you sir. They are now on the road heading to Aggieland.
Good to hear.
Indeed! That storm is getting powerful.
