Move over, Chris Lofton—there’s a new sharpshooter in Knoxville!
Chaz Lanier has officially etched his name into the Tennessee Basketball record books, setting a new program record for three-pointers made in a single season. With his 120th triple of the season, Lanier surpassed the long-standing mark of 118, previously held by Vols legend Chris Lofton from the 2007-08 campaign.
Lanier’s accomplishment is more than just a numbers milestone—it’s a testament to his relentless work ethic, confidence from deep, and vital role in the Vols’ offensive success this year. Whether pulling up in transition, finding space in catch-and-shoot situations, or knocking down clutch threes late in the shot clock, Lanier has been nothing short of spectacular from beyond the arc.
Lofton, who set the bar nearly two decades ago and is still widely regarded as one of the greatest shooters in SEC history, now passes the torch to Lanier—who’s making a strong case to be mentioned in the same breath when talking about Tennessee’s all-time greats.
This historic moment not only solidifies Lanier’s place in Vols lore, but also energizes a Tennessee team with eyes on a deep postseason run. As the season continues, fans will be watching to see just how high Chaz Lanier can push this new benchmark.
Congratulations, Chaz—a new era of Tennessee sharpshooting has arrived! 🎯🔥
