The abundant resources and in-depth programs exist to develop a stronger and more confident student-athlete both on and off the field. Programs include diversity and inclusion, financial literacy, mental health, nutrition and wellness, personal brand management, player development and strength and conditioning.

At Tennessee, we empower our football student-athletes to get inVOLved in both campus and community engagement initiatives. We also encourage them to develop lasting roots in Knoxville and Tennessee for the rest of their lives. If a former player was on the way to a practice or the facility, Dooley, still getting caught up on the Tennessee's football history, would be told a VFL was coming to town.

Jones wasn't about to sit idly by. The new coach, with a mind for marketing every square inch of his football program, wanted to turn the term VFL into a campaign, getting the fans involved more than ever before. Whenever he opened his email there was a note from a fan, describing their children, born into being VFLs. Or from season-ticket holders or longtime donors, who had as much right to being a VFL as players who wore the orange jersey.

Jones, Hood said, would do anything to build the Tennessee football program's brand — from the VFL hand gesture he created, the "One Tennessee" phrase, even Tennessee's switch from adidas to Nike. We're not going to beg you to come do anything. It's Tennessee.

You should want to be here. The term has become a common bond, first between current players and former players, now between players, coaches and fans. His business continues to grow because of the term, going from handyman work to full home remodels. He hopes to break ground soon on his own development, building a subdivision from the ground up.

Davis said they're expecting more than former football players for the Alabama game at Neyland Stadium on Oct. For Jones, his focus for what's next with the constantly growing and evolving VFL program is what best serves his football team. That starts with former players coming home. At no charge. Not all Tennessee players do, either. For example, take former Tennessee running back Jalen Hurd, who quit the team at the end of October.

He contributed greatly to UT football for two full seasons and parts of another. Former Tennessee running back Travis Henry served time in federal prison for his involvement in a cocaine-trafficking ring. You also might question his common sense and morality knowing that he fathered nine children by nine different women.
