Post-spring and early look at the depth chart including guys that will arrive in May.

Early look at Vols' fall offensive depth chart projections

I feel like there are WAY too many obvious inaccuracies for that to have been published in any medium.

Got a lot of options at RB and WR.

For example, Bumphus been on D all Spring so not likely to start on O, and when Niehaus gets on field, probably at RT, but not mentioned there. Seems premature to pencil in any freshman not here now into a starting spot.

I love Tennessee but If they start two freshmen at the T spots it’ll be a longer year than last

They’re better...OL will be also as a net effect.

Wow, clear that whoever wrote that hasn't paid any attention to UT football at all in the past 5 months. There are at least 5 dozen people on these forums that could do a better job than that. I do like his highly specific call that Quavaris Crouch will be the 3rd string RB used in the Wildcat package, though.

I think it's pretty clear that the staff is expecting both freshman to start at tackle. Pruitt said as much to Barret Jones who reported it during the orange ND white game.

And yes there will certainly be growing pains, but we need big, strong athletes on the line. Something we have lacked for years. I will take that raw talent and run with it all day compared to what we have been playing with.

They would still be better with 2 true freshman OTs. But I don't think both start.

I expect Tatum to start at one OT, probably LT and Morris/Wright to work the other side. Wright is higher rated than Morris but he missed out on Spring Practices and early S&C.

Now mid season, it could be both starting if they develop fast enough.

I would go with: Tatum, Jamir Johnson, Kennedy, Trey Smith/Niehaus, and Morris/Wright.

Akporoghene is gonna be very good too. He has a lot of upside.
