Tennessee football player sings national anthem ahead of Vols' baseball game

Before winning their eighth-straight game, the 18th-ranked Tennessee Vols had a member of the football team sing the national anthem before a baseball game.

It may be the football offseason, but a member of Tennessee's football team is using it to practice another passion of his.

Before the Vols' baseball program took on Wofford, Tennessee, redshirt senior Elijah Simmons sang the national anthem.

It was the Vols' eighth consecutive victory after losing their previous four. The winning streak started by sweeping No. 4 Vanderbilt in a three-game set.
