Tennessee running back named semifinalist for Burlsworth Trophy

Tennessee running back DeSean Bishop was named a semifinalist for the Burlsworth Trophy for a second consecutive season. Bishop, a senior and Knoxville, Tennessee native, is one of 10 semifinalists for the award, which is presented annually to the most outstanding football player who began his career as a walk-on. He was also a semifinalist for the Burlsworth Trophy in 2025. After rushing for 109 yards in the Vols' victory over Kentucky on Nov. 7 at Neyland Stadium, Bishop became the second player in Tennessee history to record consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, joining Johnnie Jones, who accomplished the feat from 1983-84. Entering Week 11 of the college football season, the Karns High School (Knoxville, Tennessee) graduate is one of four FBS players with at least 1,000 yards and 13 touchdowns this season. Bishop has scored at least one touchdown in 12 of his last 13 games, dating to 2025. His 13 rushing scores rank second in the SEC and are tied for seventh nationally. Bishop has recorded six 100-plus rushing performances this season, including five straight entering Saturday's game against Texas A&M . He ranks second in the SEC and 10th in the nation with 1,066 rushing yards in 2026. The

Kim Caldwell details Lady Vols intentionally calling sets in third win

Tennessee (3-0) defeated New Haven (1-1), 83-40, Tuesday at Food City Center. The Lady Vols led, 37-24, at halftime. Third-year Tennessee head coach Kim Caldwell discussed the Lady Vols' performance after the game. "We appreciate coach (Debbie) Buff and New Haven for coming," Caldwell said. "It was a game we needed. Wasn't a pretty game on our end, but I think right now the more game experience we can get, the better, and we're learning a lot in games with 15 new players, and you guys saw that tonight. We threw a lot at them. We had switched up our groups and our rotations for this game on a one-day prep. We intentionally had them call their own sets, and didn't call a lot of plays for them, for them to try to work their way through it. "I think that was part of the result of the slow start, but those are things we need. Those are things we need because we are going to get in high pressure situations very quickly where 15 players on the floor have to figure it out together, and so we've talked in the locker room a lot about what our response to

When opioid-settlement grants turn nonprofits into public contractors

In March 2024, Tennessee’s Opioid Abatement Council (OAC) approved a three-year grant worth about $1.7 million for a Knoxville nonprofit called Next Step Initiative Tennessee. The state’s own grant workbook classified the organization as “small.” Its Trenches 2 Treatment project was approved for $566,566 in the first year alone, and a little more than a year later, the same grant appeared in a very different kind of state record.

No. 11 Tennessee chasing improvements against Tennessee State

After dropping three spots in the AP Top 25 despite remaining unbeaten, No. 11 Tennessee will try to find its shooting touch when it plays host to high-scoring Tennessee State on Friday in Knoxville. In typical Rick Barnes fashion, the Tennessee coach did not mince words after a poor shooting night on Monday, even as his team completed a 70-47 victory over Radford. "We were atrocious, really, on offense," Barnes said. Tennessee (2-0) shot 46.2% from the floor but was just 1 of 8 from 3-point range in the second half and 23.5% from distance in the game. Shooting was expected to be a strength after the normally defensive-minded Barnes brought in players who were known for offensive prowess such as Juke Harris, a Wake Forest transfer who averaged 21.4 points last season. Harris had six points against Radford and was just 1 of 9 from the floor. He had just seven points on 2-of-5 shooting in his Volunteers debut against Wofford last week. "Offensively, the execution is not even close to what I know we're capable of," Barnes said. "And it looks like we've got too many guys that are too anxious to shoot the ball. I don't think

Christian school wins Tennessee court case challenging religious charter ban

Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. Knox County Schools cannot block a Christian charter school application on religious grounds despite a Tennessee law banning religious charter schools, according to a federal court ruling on Friday. The narrow decision applies only to Knox County Schools and the Wilberforce Academy of Knoxville, which sued the school district last year over its application of the state law. It does not strike down Tennessee’s religious charter school ban or guarantee that Wilberforce’s application will be approved. The ruling comes amid a growing national conservative push to greenlight taxpayer-funded religious schools . Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti declined to defend the 2002 law earlier this year after publicly calling it “likely” unconstitutional , leaving Knox County Schools to face a lawsuit challenging a state law it was required to enforce. Tennessee lawmakers also loosened the state’s restrictions on religious charter schools this year, allowing religious organizations to operate charter schools as long as the schools themselves remain nonreligious. Wilberforce, however, aims to open an explicitly
