One of Tennessee’s two inside linebacker positions is set, but the other is a bit of a mystery. Returning sophomore linebacker Henry To’o To’o is expected to fill the shoes of departed linebacker Daniel Bituli this fall, but that still leaves one spot open for the taking.
Most assumed that this job would land in the hands of Quavaris Crouch, but a wildcard has entered the race. And according to defensive coordinator Derrick Ansley, he’s making a real push for the spot.
That wildcard is Jeremy Banks, who returned to the roster at the open of fall camp.
