ESPN thinks Jarrett Guarantano is ready for a breakout season

A lot rests on the shoulders of Tennessee quarterback Jarrett Guarantano this season. The redshirt junior quarterback has been through a lot in a short amount of time in Knoxville, including two head coaches and four offensive coordinators.

Perhaps even tougher, Guarantano has been operating behind one of the worst offensive lines in the country. He was sacked on over eight percent of his dropbacks last season which ranked 106th in the FBS in 2018. He was pressured on a staggering 39 percent of his passes.

Still, that underperforming offensive line didn’t keep Guarantano down in every category.
