Hendon Hooker "This is home for me"

[UT Hill Man]

It was nice to have Hendon back in town on Friday to host a youth football camp at Fulton High School. When he went to the NFL he left a void here at QB that still has not been filled.

"This is home for me, that's really unexplainable," said Hooker. "Just coming back, it always feels like I'm from [Knoxville], so anytime that I'm back, it's always a great feeling. It always just feels like home every time I come back to Knoxville, everyone in the community embraces me like one of their own," added Hooker.

His dedication, hard work, and discipline on and off the field motivated teammates to follow suit. And his Christian values resonated with fans and teamates alike. He still prays before every game, as he did before every Vol football game.

I am guilty of not realizing how good he was while he was here. It’s great that he’s such a great ambassador for our school and embraces Knoxville as a home even though he was here for such a short time.

All the accolades above are true, but let’s not forget the biggest one… he beat Bama and stopped the streak
