‘Mature’ Jabari Small ready to lead the Tennessee backfield

Fall camp starts today for Tennessee, meaning a new era in the backfield is just weeks from getting underway. Gone are Eric Gray and Ty Chandler, and the Volunteers will lean on some new faces in the debut year of Josh Heupel.

The leader from the beginning has been Jabari Small, who is going into his second year in the program. He handled just 26 carries last season, but he’s expected to be the top guy in that room in 2021.

JUCO back Tiyon Evans is probably next, followed by a group of wildcards with no playing experience.
