KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Luke Stocker is perhaps the most NFL-ready player on the Tennessee roster.

The athletic tight end from Kentucky passed up on a chance to declare for the NFL draft, electing to return and lead the Vols' offense for another season.

Stocker hauled in five touchdown passes last year, including two in the season-opener against Western Kentucky.

His best game came against his homestate Wildcats, when he went for 78 yards and a touchdown.
