Let's continue the series. Time to preview the DL. This really could be a strength for the team this year. I'm not gonna comment on DM, I'm still a bit irked about that and I'll let you all comment if you'd like, but as far as the entire DL goes, we are looking better than we have in a while. Go Vols 2020!!
2020 Spring Position Preview: Defensive Line | Rocky Top Insider
Seniors: Ja’Quain Blakely (RS), LaTrell Bumphus, Matthew Butler, Emmit Gooden (RS), Darel Middleton, Aubrey Solomon, Savion Williams
Juniors: John Mincey
Sophomores: Greg Emerson (RS), Kurott Garland (RS), Kingston Harris (RS)
Freshmen: Dominic Bailey, Elijah Simmons (RS)
Tennessee’s most experienced and deepest group this season will be their defensive line. The Vols return all of their starters and major contributors from last season, and the younger linemen on the roster have all had another year of time to learn the defense and bulk up (or trim down) in the weight room.
This unit did take a bit of a hit over this weekend, however. Rising senior Darel Middleton, who appeared in all 13 games and started six contests last season for the Vols, was arrested early Saturday morning on charges of domestic assault and public intoxication. Middleton’s punishment has not been announced by Jeremy Pruitt or Tennessee at this time.
Aside from Middleton’s unknown status, the Vols feature a veteran group of linemen who figure to improve off a somewhat surprisingly good 2019 campaign.
