Tennessee Football: Projecting Who Will Win Volunteers' Open Starting Positions

The most talented Tennessee football team in at least a decade will trot onto the field in 2015, but that doesn't mean every starting spot is locked up.

As a matter of fact, there are several wide-open races ongoing that will heat up once practice begins. Even more could emerge once UT gets all its highly touted recruits on campus and thrown into the fray.

For instance, the Vols return starting defensive tackle Danny O'Brien. But with potential stars such as Kahlil McKenzie joining freshman Shy Tuttle on campus, nobody's job is safe.

The same situation applies to sophomore Emmanuel Moseley, who must hold off JUCO transfer Justin Martin, freshman Darrell Miller and others to keep his starting spot.
