Projected Two Deep

If Smith plays at OT, gotta think Johnson is a starter at guard. Not sure if Locklear or Carvin wins the other OG spot in that scenario, but I’d probably lean Carvin if he has a productive summer in S&C. Can’t teach 6’4 330.

To be just a freshman, Carvin already looks like a contributor.

LT Smith
LG R Johnson
C Kennedy
RG Carvin
RT Richmond

I would be good with this

Correct me if I'm FOS, but, we haven't heard about a lot of off-season injuries as in years past. Now, it seemed like Butch thought he was a CEO giving an annual disclosure/report at times. So, maybe Pruitt just doesn't disclose that stuff. Or, hopefully, his coaching minimizes getting guys hurt. Just speculatin' over here.

Go Vols!
Not sure how that relates to my statement. We knew who was out in the spring and most of those were close to participation. Smith and Hall are the biggest question marks.

I'll take a WAY too early shot at it.....

QB- K. Chryst or J. Guarantano.

RB- Ty Chandler (M. London, J. Banks).

WR- J. Jennings, M. Callaway, & B. Johnson. (J. Murphy, J. Palmer, J. Jones, A Taylor?)

TE- D. Wood-Anderson (E. Wolf).

OT- T. Smith & D. Richmond. (N. Niehaus, J. Johnson)
OG- B. Kennedy & M. Tatum or C. Hall. (O. Lane, K. Calbert)
C- R. Johnson. (R. Locklear)

DE- K. Phillips & D. Johnson, M. Butler, or R. Thaxton.
DT- S. Tuttle (A. Johnson).

OLB- D. Taylor & J. Kongbo (A. Smith, J. Peterson, J. Allen).
MLB- D. Kirkland & D. Bituli. (Q. Sapp, W. Ignot, S. Reid).

CB- S. Shamburger, M. Osborne, B. Buchanan. (K. George Jr, T. Bailey, A Taylor?).
S- N. Warrior, M. Abernathy. (T. Kelly Jr., C. LaBruzza).

Looks good, but did I miss something with Tim Jordan? I thought him and Ty Chandler would be getting the bulk of the carries?

Doubt we’d see it, but if RG-C-LG we go with Johnson, Kennedy, Carvin, I’d almost rather see them put Smith at RT next to Carvin. That way we’ve got our best OL helping out our youngest OL and we’ve got our two biggest dudes playing side by side.

I’m siren Friend will figure out our best lineup, though. I’m very interested to see what he can get out of this group.

For us to be told our current team sucks enough to lose 6-7 games, I sure do see a number to guys on the depth chart that we sought after by a lot of top schools.
If Pruitt can develop at a high rate of speed, and seeing how Freshman and Sophomores play a lot at Bama, I might be inclined to buy into the 8 or more win column.

For me it hinges on the health of the team going into the last stretch of the season. If we can make it thru the mid season gauntlet with most of the 1's still playing I think there is a good chance of going 6-6 or 7-5

I see your point, but if we have any opportunity to move Richmond to RT I would take it
