Late last week the Tennessee football program began their spring season — fourteen practices spread throughout March and April culminating in the Orange and White Spring Game on April 13th. One of the biggest surprises of the first practice session was a slight position change for one of Tennessee’s top recruits, linebacker Quavaris Crouch.
Following the first practice of the 2019 campaign head coach Jeremy Pruitt explained that Crouch, who was recruited as a running back and outside linebacker, would start the spring off at inside linebacker. The reason for this adjustment is essentially two-fold. For one, it provides Crouch a better chance to fully understand the defensive scheme as the defense is “easier to learn from inside-out, instead of outside in,” according to Pruitt.
