Josh Heupel excited for Joe Milton to get another opportunity to start at QB for Tennessee

Josh Heupel couldn’t be happier for Tennessee quarterback Joe Milton. On Monday, the UT head coach discussed Milton’s path to the 2023 campaign.

“I’m excited for him,” Heupel said. “He’s a guy that did it the right way. When it didn’t go his way early on, he looked at himself, here’s how I need to continue to improve to get better. He trusted his coaches, his program, believed in the guys around him too inside of the locker room.

“He’s put himself in a position to play at a really high level because of the work ethic that he’s had inside of our program,” Heupel said. “He’s become very mature in who he is, what he’s about, how he’s going to work, how he’s going to impact his teammates in a leadership role. It’s not just going into the Orange Bowl. He’s been that guy for a very long time inside our program.

“He’s someone who’s continued to grow and has a great understanding of defensive alignments, which allows us to communicate and adjust really quickly with him. I think that’s really important. He has complete command of what we’re doing offensively.”

This story will be updated.
