Numerous former Tennessee Vols were in attendance for the program's annual Orange and White spring game on Saturday.
Josh Dobbs, Joe Milton, Jauan Jennings, Trey Smith, and Kahlil McKenzie Jr were among the former Vols at Tennessee's spring game.
One notable former Vol from the Josh Heupel era that wasn't in the building was Detroit Lions quarterback Hendon Hooker.
But Hooker, who was at last year's spring game in Knoxville, had a great reason for not making the trip to East Tennessee this weekend.
Instead of attending the Orange and White game, Hooker was in Tallahassee for Florida A&M's spring game.
Hooker's younger brother, Alston, transferred from North Carolina A&T to Florida A&M earlier this offseason.
Hooker has always made it a point to be around as often as possible to support his younger brother, so it's certainly not a surprise that he made the trip to northwest Florida to see Alston in action on Saturday. After all, it might be one of the only chances that Hooker gets to see Alston play this year thanks to his NFL schedule with the Lions.
By the way, Hooker was recently in attendance for a big softball game between Tennessee and Georgia.
