One of Tennessee’s top prospects in the class of 2022 has already been thrown into the fire and tested at an unfamiliar spot. Four-star offensive line prospect Addison Nichols was expected to compete for a spot at tackle or guard, but upon arrival in Knoxville, he’s taking reps at center.
It was a surprise to Nichols, who says the staff didn’t previously mention this particular plan to him. However, the Georgia native is taking it in stride and learning on the fly. After all, this is what spring ball is all about.
“I got here and it was like, ‘here’s a ball, here’s how you snap — that’s kind of how it went,” Nichols said with a smile.
