I wrote back in May that Vols’ receiver Josh Palmer was a candidate for a breakout season.
So far, he hasn’t disappointed.
Palmer has just six catches on the year so far, but he’s tied for second on the team in catches and second in terms of receiving yards. He trails Marquez Callaway by 23 yards, but Callaway also leads the team with 13 catches.
The sophomore has become Tennessee’s deep threat in the early stages of the season. He has a 50+ yard catch in back-to-back games and caught a career-high three passes against the Mountaineers in the season opener.
