Word broke about a week ago that Milton was gunning to play for Josh Heupel and the Vols, but nothing was officially announced.
Now, it’s a done deal, and Tennessee has landed the former Michigan starter.
Sources: Former Michigan quarterback Joe Milton plans to sign with Tennessee. He’s expected to formally commit later this month.

As I said when word first broke that Milton was eyeing Tennessee, if he can return to the form he had early last season against Minnesota, then Heupel will have a very solid guy at quarterback.
Milton is huge, has a howitzer for an arm and is athletic. For reasons I’m not sure anyone truly understands, he just fell apart along with the rest of Michigan last season.
Now, he’s found himself a change of scenery and he’s bound for the SEC.

If you’re a fan of Tennessee, you have to be happy to have a talented guy on the roster. It’s low risk, high reward, and that’s something every football fan wants to hear.
