Our breakout player series continues today with another player who will factor heavily into the Tennessee offense. Somewhat by default, Jabari Small has become the top option in the Tennessee backfield following the departures of Ty Chandler and Eric Gray. While there’s plenty of competition behind him, Small made the most of his opportunities this spring during Josh Heupel’s install period.
Amazingly enough, Small is Tennessee’s most experience running back, coming off of just 26 carries in 2020. Those came mostly in mop-up duty, totalling 117 yards. Small also added four catches for 24 yards during his first season as a Volunteer.
