The Vols are well-stocked on their roster at the quarterback position, but very well could be looking to add at least one quarterback in the 2017 class as well.
Former Georgia commitment Bailey Hockman, the No. 68 ranked player nationally according to 247Sports, announced on Tuesday that he will be visiting Knoxville this spring, giving the Vols a chance to make an impression on one of the top signal callers in the 2017 class.
Visits coming up:

Hockman is a 6-foot-2, 186-pound quarterback from Powder Springs, Ga., who holds approximately 20 offers from some of the best programs in the nation. He decommitted from the Bulldogs in December after coach Mark Richt was let go.
Tennessee will lose starting quarterback Joshua Dobbs after the 2016 season, leaving Quinten Dormady, Sheriron Jones and signee Jarrett Guarantano as the QBs on the roster at that point. The Vols did have a commitment from quarterback Hunter Johnson, but his flip to Clemson in December opened up a spot for a quarterback in UT’s 2017 class.
