Following a successful freshman season at Tennessee in 2012, Will Maddox believed he could make an even bigger impact as a sophomore. The former Gainesville standout did just that this year, even if he won’t quite admit it. The 5-foot-11 infielder led the struggling Volunteers (22-30) in seven major offensive categories, including hits (69), at-bats (207), runs scored (42), on-base percentage (.425) and stolen bases (22) — which ranked second in the Southeastern Conference.
