(Christian Headline) A record-setting University of Tennessee quarterback who opted to return for another season instead of turning pro says he wants to use his talents to “spread the Word of Jesus Christ.”
Tennessee’s Hendon Hooker, who announced in December that he would return for the 2022 season instead of placing his name in the NFL Draft, helped the Vols break multiple records last year, including a school record for points in a season and a program record of 124 consecutive pass attempts without an interception to begin his career. Sports Illustrated ranks him as a Top 50 prospect for the 2023 NFL Draft and predicts he will be the fifth quarterback chosen.
An outspoken Christian, Hooker and his brother, Alston, recently released a book filled with their favorite Bible verses. Designed for children in the form of a comic book, it’s titled The ABC’s of Scripture for Athletes.
