With just over a week until the start of the 2023 Tennessee football season, starting quarterback and college football veteran Joe Milton III met with the media in Knoxville on Thursday morning.
Milton has had a few chances to talk with the media over the summer between SEC Media Days, Tennessee Media Days, and training camp. During his interview with the media on Thursday, though, Milton spoke about several topics including his mindset of leading the team while also serving his teammates.
“I feel great,” Milton said. “I may be a leader on the team but I’m still trying to serve. Trying to get everybody comfortable with the game plan and how I see things.”

Milton went on to discuss being the oldest of seven kids and explained how that has helped him be a leader that served in the past.
Milton also talked about off-season body changes, dropping weight, playing with Cooper Mays injured, and much more.
