By now you’ve heard of Harrison Bailey’s accolades as a gunslinger in Georgia’s Class 7A high school football conference. At the conclusion of his career at Marietta High School in Marietta, Ga., Bailey trailed only Jake Fromm, Trevor Lawrence, and Deshaun Watson on Georgia’s list of all-time passing leaders.
There’s a reason Bailey was a five-star recruit and the highest rated quarterback for UT in years. Needless to say, his first minutes in a Tennessee football uniform last week were highly anticipated and greatly appreciated.
Though he only saw action in one drive, and it’s worth noting the game was all but lost at this point late in the fourth quarter, Bailey completed a nice throw to fellow true freshman Malachi Wideman along the sideline for 24 yards. He’s a young player that’s garnered more hype than anyone else on UT’s roster and should see the field against Alabama.

Perhaps most importantly, freshman quarterback Harrison Bailey could hear his name called against Alabama. He entered late in the Kentucky game after starter Jarrett Guarantano and backup J.T. Shrout both struggled.
