The Tennessee Vols best linebacker, Jalen Reeves-Maybin announced on his twitter account that he will return for his senior season. The 6-foot, 225-pound Reeves-Maybin led the Vols with 14 tackles for loss in 2015, and was second on the Vols with five sacks.

I watched the Vols twice this season (against Oklahoma and Alabama) and Maybin played spectacularly in both games. His early departure would have been a huge hit for the Vols at linebacker where they don't have much depth. Friends who are Vols fans have told me he is their best defensive player.

without him I'm sure they Maybin more worried about next season. His return Reeves little doubt that they'll be confident and stout defensively.
Oklahoma's center was impressed:
you want to be the best, you gotta beat the best. Glad he's coming back. Gonna make for a better game.
I love it when players finish out their careers.
Maybe we should invite him to the house of pancakes to show him what we think of him!
I love that Gibson throws down a Bearcat in order to cushion JCC's fall.
nah, JCC's just making sure he stays down
Still waiting to hear on our top corner and "backup RB". Sutton graded as a 3rd round pick and Kamara as a 5th round, but as of right now they may both return.
Woah, a Vols fan! Guess we will be seeing more of y'all as the offseason progresses. Can't wait.
Welcome!
Welcome! Have a turkey leg, they're delicious!
This is even more shocking when you consider that the D coordinator left. Thought that might make a few leave early.
He is close to the new coordinator, a former Vanderbilt coach when Maybin was being recruited.
Will just make it hurt that much more when we win
He will regret this decision on September 11, 2016.
