Last season, Jalen Reeves-Maybin turned out to be a revelation for the Volunteers defense at outside linebacker after a freshman season spent as a special teams ace. This season, Tennessee is hoping for a similar transition from one of 2014's special team leaders as Rashaan Gaulden looks to make a name for himself at the nickel back position.
With Tennessee uncertain at middle linebacker heading into the season, the Volunteers are expected to run much of their base defense from the nickel formation.
