Tennessee held its first full-pad scrimmage of fall camp Sunday inside Neyland Stadium, and first-year head coach Jeremy Pruitt told reporters it was an important step of the competitive process for the Volunteers.
“There is still a lot of competition, and we have to figure it out,” Pruitt told reporters inside the Hand Digital Studio.
To that end, transfer quarterback Keller Chryst unleashed his most assertive performance of camp, per people familiar with the Vols’ 100-plus play scrimmage.
Chryst had multiple touchdown passes during the intrasquad work against both the Vols’ opening 11 and second-team defense, including a deep strike to Jordan Murphy and a connection with Brandon Johnson, who took the pass, juked a defender and outran the defense to pay dirt.
