The Tennessee Volunteers landed one of the nation's top recruiting classes in 2015 and no recruit from the class could have a bigger impact on the team this season than running back Alvin Kamara.

Despite Jalen Hurd's fantastic debut season, in which the Hendersonville, Tenn. native gained 1120 yards from scrimmage and scored seven touchdowns, the Vols desperately needed to add a back to help shoulder the load this season. According to his head coach, Kamara has put in the time and effort to quickly gain the confidence of his new teammates.
