The way Tennessee has recruited wide receivers the past few years, it seemed the pantry would always be stocked.
That's no longer the case.
With Pig Howard, Johnathon Johnson and currently suspended Von Pearson all set to exhaust their eligibility in 2015, the Vols are in dire need of pass-catchers.
Throw in the possibility that junior potential stud Marquez North—who has the physical attributes to leave early—could bolt, and hitting big on receivers in this recruiting cycle appears more vital than it has been in recent memory.
"I think wide receiver definitely is Tennessee's biggest remaining need in this class, simply based on the number of players the Vols still need to add at that position," GoVols247 recruiting writer Ryan Callahan told Bleacher Report.
