LSU baseball legend guarantees that the Tennessee Vols will be in the national championship next season
Tennessee Vols baseball came up short in 2022. The talent on the roster was undeniable, and they had one of the best regular season runs of all-time.

Tennessee Vols baseball came up short in 2022. The talent on the roster was undeniable, and they had one of the best regular season runs of all-time. Still, people only care when you win the biggest games, not the ones in March and April. Their roster and coaching staff will be strong enough once again to be a contender in 2023, though. Todd Walker, an LSU Tigers baseball legend, thinks that the Vols will be playing in the national championship next season against LSU.
Why it's intriguing
Walker is one of the most beloved baseball players in the deep history of LSU baseball. In 2006, Walker was elected to the LSU Hall of Fame. In 2009, Walker was inducted into the National College Baseball Hall of Fame. Walker's uniform number 12 was retired by LSU at Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field in 2017. It's safe to say he is a well-respected voice in the college baseball community.
He is also currently a commentator that watches a massive amount of baseball every single season. He's seen it all in the sport of college baseball. His confidence is clear as he mentions who he believes will be playing for the national title next season.
LSU and Tennessee both have some big pieces moving on from the program via the MLB Draft. That being said, the Tigers and Vols both have plenty of young talent waiting in the wings. Both programs have been very active in the transfer portal so far as well, snagging some of the best available talent available.
A Vols-LSU season finale in 2023 would certainly pit two of the most raucous crowds against each other for all the marbles in Omaha, Nebraska.
