Building a Vols football team with only Tennessee natives

Happy birthday, Tennessee!

The Volunteer State turns 228 years old on June 1 with the date marking Statehood Day. As the state's flagship university, Tennessee has drawn some of the best football players that grew up in the state to play for the Vols.

To celebrate the holiday, I put together a Tennessee football team of all natives from the state.
