The obvious question: Has he progressed enough to warrant a spot in the lineup? One Vol defensive end who faced him every day in practice thinks so.
Thats my boy, said Derek Barnett, who earned Freshman All-America recognition after recording 10 sacks his first year on campus. He gives me a good look in practice. He dont let me get nothing easy. He gives me scout-team looks but he makes me work for everything.
Normal progress should have made Blair a better player in December TaxSlayer Bowl workouts than he was in August preseason workouts. Apparently, strides were made.
Hes improved a bunch, Barnett told InsideTennessee. He pushed me, even on the scout team. Hes gotten a lot more physical and hes more confident. I know next year hes going to play a big role for our team.
Blair fact: Vols need him to step up
