Tennessee quarterback Joshua Dobbs has worked out twice with the Vols baseball team, UT baseball coach Dave Serrano said Friday afternoon.

Serrano didn’t say whether Dobbs — who starred on the baseball diamond in addition to the football field in high school —Â would continue to workout or play with the baseball team moving forward.

Dobbs, an Atlanta-area native, started parts of the 2013 and 2014 seasons before fully taking the reigns in 2015, and he played a pivotal role in helping the Vols finish the season in the Associated Press top-25 poll by capping a six-game winning streak with a 45-6 victory over 13th-ranked Northwestern in the Outback Bowl.

Tennessee’s quarterback already has a busy schedule considering his job on the field and his job in the classroom, where he’s an aerospace engineering major who’s on the SEC Academic Honor Roll. Dobbs spent part of last summer with prestigious Pratt & Whitney in Florida, and he’s working on another out-of-town internship with Pratt & Whitney for this offseason.

Adding baseball to an already-busy schedule would give some cause for pause, but Dobbs was a very good pitcher and shortstop in high school and arguably could have been drafted if he hadn’t made it clear that he planned to enroll in college to play football and study aerospace engineering.
