When spring practice began, inside linebacker was becoming a concern of historic proportions for Tennessee football. The Vols lost their top two players at the position to transfer, Henry To’o To’o and Quavaris Crouch, who have joined the Alabama Crimson Tide and Michigan State Spartans respectively. J.J. Peterson also entered the portal.

Then there was an off-campus incident before spring ball began that resulted in the suspensions of redshirt freshman Martavius French and true freshman Aaron Willis, both four-stars expected to be future standout players.
