When Tennessee failed to land top cornerback targets like Isaac Taylor-Stuart, Olaijah Griffin or Eddie Smith on national signing day, we knew they were in a little bit of trouble at cornerback. The Volunteers saw four contributors move on from the 2017 team, leaving massive voids for Jeremy Pruitt to fill in year one.
Baylen Buchanan, Marquill Osborne and Shawn Shamburger — probably Tyler Byrd too — are likely your main contributors at cornerback as we head into spring. However, Tennessee joined the grad-transfer market in hopes of landing some more depth.
