Most of the players who have been a part of this series have yet to start more than a handful of games for the Red and Black. Offensive lineman Cade Mays on the other hand drew seven starting nods last season. He played so much that it honestly feels a little difficult to believe that he’s only a true sophomore, and that at this time last year it was at least conceivable that he would even redshirt.
But a serious injury to starting guard Ben Cleveland and a productive camp for the freshman from Knoxville meant that Mays played in eleven of fourteen games during 2018, picking up valuable experience.
