After a 22-year career that includes 274 University of Tennessee football games, 14 bowl games and three SEC Championship games, Vol Radio Network football color analyst Tim Priest has decided to step away from the broadcast booth in order to spend more time watching his grandchildren’s athletic exploits.
NFL quarterback Pat Ryan has been tabbed as the new color analyst for Tennessee football games on the Vol Network for the 2021 season. Ryan has extensive radio and television experience in the state. Over the last six years he has served as a key member of the Vol Network’s popular pre-game “Kickoff Call-In Show” crew. For the last 11 years he has been a part of the Vol Network’s statewide weekly “Big Orange Hotline” radio show during football season.
