Everything is new for Tennessee football once again, from the roster to the coaching staff. The Vols will be breaking in a new starter at quarterback and running back, as well as several new faces at receiver. Josh Heupel’s spread attack will give Tennessee a totally new identity, and the wide receivers are set to benefit more than any position on the team.
It’s a talented group filled with blue-chip talent, however, it’s a group filled with unknowns and youth. Let’s dive in and take a look at what’s left on the roster.
