Barnhart Feature On Dobbs & Vols

Mr. College Football, Tony Barnhart takes a look at quarterback Joshua Dobbs and Tennessee football following his recent to Knoxville. 

Joshua Dobbs loves to compete, even with his own mother.

Dobbs, from Alpharetta, Ga. (about 30 minutes from downtown Atlanta), grew up in a household that was very serious about a lot of things, especially academics. His mother, Stephanie, missed only one day of school in 12 years (she had a fever in the second grade and was kept home out of caution). Thus, at a very young age, Joshua Dobbs was challenged.

"It just became like a game to me," Dobbs said.
