Tennessee concluded spring football practices Saturday with its Orange & White Game at Neyland Stadium. Team Orange tied White, 14-14.
The game featured two quarterbacks for Tennessee: Redshirt freshman Jake Merklinger and early enrollee freshman George MacIntyre. The Vols were down to two signal-callers after redshirt sophomore quarterback Nico Iamaleava left the program as he intends to enter the NCAA transfer portal. Iamaleava did not attend Tennessee’s final spring football practice on Friday and was not at the Orange & White Game.

Following the Orange & White Game, senior tight end Miles Kitselman discussed being a leader on the offensive side of the ball and rallying the team.
“Obviously, I’m old,” Kitselman said. “I’m really old, but I have been a part of some really talented teams that haven’t won a whole lot because there were individuals on those teams. Quite frankly, there’s no other group that I would go to war with right now than the guys that we have on this team. Just implementing that and knowing that I got their back. I don’t even have to question what they had in mind, just day-in and day-out, show them I am going to give my everything for this program and for this team.”
