With as beat up as our LB's are it got me to thinking would we possibly see any freshman LB's playing this year? That line of thinking led me to which freshmen have played already. Here is the list of freshmen from the ESPN site. Highlighted Red are the ones I can remember that have played:

2 Jarrett Guarantano QB
3 Marquill Osborne DB
8 Latrell Williams WR
9 Marquez Callaway WR
10 Tyler Byrd WR - Has Played
13 Sheriron Jones QB
14 Zac Jancek QB
14 Quart'e Sapp LB - Out for season
17 Brandon Johnson WR
18 Nigel Warrior DB
19 Darrell Taylor DL
20 Vincent Perry WR - I think he played
24 Michael Lacey WR
26 Ben Powlas WR
27 Carlin Fils-Aime RB - Has Played
28 Baylen Buchanan DB - Has Played
31 Stedman Love RB
33 MaLeik Gatewood DB
33 Jeremy Lewis RB
35 Daniel Bituli LB
35 Taeler Dowdy RB
36 Grayson Linde P
37 Charles West DB
39 Alex Jones RB
42 Chip Omer RB
43 Matt Ballard LB
43 Laszlo Toser PK
46 Riley Lovingood LS -Has Played
46 DaJour Maddox LB
47 Landon Knoll LB
48 Ja'Quain Blakely LB
50 Venzell Boulware OL
51 Drew Richmond OL - has Played
52 Andrew Butcher DL
57 Nathan Niehaus OL
59 Jake Yelich LS
64 Logan Punch LS
64 Tommy Sprague OL
67 Joe Keeler OL
68 Marcus Tatum OL
69 Brian Garvey OL
70 Ryan Johnson OL
80 Eli Wolf TE
81 Austin Pope TE - I think he has played
83 BJ Bishop WR
84 Devante Brooks TE
86 Andrew Craig TE
88 Brandon Benedict DL
89 Will Jumper TE
94 Mykelle McDaniel DL
96 Joey Cave DL
97 Jackson Morris PK

I know this list has walk-on's on it but it is a complete list. I know Kongbo has played but is listed as a sophomore.

Who else has played that I have missed. And where do you find this type of information? I find all kinds of statistics on the team but not playing time.

SIAP I looked in the football forum but did not see anything on this topic.

Go Vols beat Bama

Good job on the updates! I will edit as they come in.
It is great to see this list growing! That tells me that Butch and company are not afraid to play the best players in game time situation. I was afraid that once he got "his" guys starting that he would go back to only upperclassmen playing.

Brandon Johnson and Daniel Bituli have both played.
Johnson had a reception Sat. I believe, and Bituli has played special teams.
Has Marquil Osbourne played? It seems like he played Sat.

There was a tackle on D by #3. I don't think it was Malone.

Since Warrior got tossed for a BS targeting call, count him.

Boulware has played too. Relieved Robertson Saturday, but he has seen plenty of time this year.

Eli Wolf has played too. Against Appy State, Dobbs fumble that Hurd dove on in the end zone landed between his feet.

Hasn't Vincent Perry been suspended due to grades? I think he might still be practicing, but can't play right now. Unless something has changed.

#47 Landon Knoll needs to be getting some reps. At a minimum on special teams. Kid was a first team All-State linebacker in the division where he shined against many of his current teammates.

Callaway can play DB also --- they should to try him out there in practice and see how he does, before going straight out as a WR
