A New Year's Message from AD Danny White
December 31, 2024 | General
Looking back on the stellar 2024 calendar year on Rocky Top.
Dear Friends of Tennessee Athletics,
I hope you and your loved ones have had a happy and healthy holiday season. We wish you all a Happy New Year!
2024 will be remembered as one of the most remarkable times in our proud history on Rocky Top. The achievements from the past year are awe-inspiring, and it's a fantastic time to be a Tennessee Vol!
From celebrating our first baseball national championship in Omaha to having the only two undefeated basketball teams in the country—our men's team ranked No. 1 and our women's team ranked No. 13—and making the first 12-team College Football Playoff, we are just getting started on Rocky Top.
We proudly tout ourselves as the "Everything School," and the results speak for themselves. In 2024, we secured our third consecutive SEC All-Sports Trophy and achieved our best finish ever in the Learfield Directors' Cup, finishing No. 3 nationally. Additionally, we saw eight different sports finish in the Top 10 nationally and became the first institution to win SEC Championships in men's basketball, softball, and baseball in the same year.
Thanks to the tremendous support from our Tennessee Fund donors and Vol Nation, you have played a vital role in our quest to build the best athletics department in the country.
Go Big Orange!
Danny White
Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics
