Former Ohio State, Current Tennessee Safety Andre Turrentine Says Ohio Stadium “Isn't As Loud” As SEC Environments

A former Buckeye-turned-Volunteer feels stadiums across his conference are louder than the Horseshoe.

Safety Andre Turrentine, who spent his freshman year with Ohio State in 2021 before transferring to Tennessee, said the Shoe isn't as loud as SEC stadiums. That's not just the icons like LSU's Tiger Stadium or Alabama's Bryant-Denney Stadium, but he said the noise levels at South Carolina's Williams-Brice Stadium, Arkansas' Razorback Stadium and Tennessee's own Neyland Stadium are louder.

"The Shoe isn't as loud as the SEC," Turrentine said in an interview session on Tuesday. "It's a different animal here. Whether you're at South Carolina at nighttime or whether you're at Arkansas at nighttime, whether you're at Neyland (Stadium) at nighttime, or the daytime for that matter, it's loud here.
