Ranking the Top 100 College Football Players for the 2016 Season | Bleacher Report

61. Joshua Dobbs, QB, Tennessee: A starter for parts of the last three years (and all of 2015), Dobbs has been key to the Volunteers' annual late-season surge. This fall he's hoping to get them to rise from the start.





57. Jalen Hurd, RB, Tennessee: The bruising 6'4”, 240-pound junior ran for 1,288 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2015—the most yards for a Tennessee back since 2009.

48. Cam Sutton, CB, Tennessee

Year: Senior
Height, weight: 5'11”, 186 lbs

Cam Sutton has started all 38 games of his Tennessee career at cornerback. He's been a consistent force in the secondary who has logged six interceptions, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries over three seasons. But Sutton has made his biggest mark on special teams, developing into one of the most deadly return men in FBS.
He led the nation in punt return average in 2015. His two touchdowns contributed to an 18.68-yard average, and the 467 yards he gained set a school record.
Sutton's scores haven't been cheap either. Last year he brought back one for 84 yards against Kentucky. He also notched an 85-yarder against Vanderbilt, scoring from 76 yards out in 2014.

31. Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee

Tennessee coach Butch Jones has made major inroads on the recruiting trail since coming on board in 2013, but Derek Barnett wasn't one of his most highly rated gets. Instead, he's become one of the most effective pass-rushers in the country despite not getting much attention, either nationally or even in the SEC.
"Derek Barnett is one of the most underrated players in the conference," Bleacher Report's Barrett Sallee said. "He's quicker than people realize, is a monster against the run and a big reason why the Vols have been great on third downs over the last two seasons."
Barnett has had 10 sacks each of his first two years, collecting 33 tackles for loss along the way. His 69 tackles in 2015 were the most of any defensive lineman in the SEC.

25. Jalen Reeves-Maybin, LB, Tennessee

Tennessee's starting "Will" linebacker the last two seasons missed time in spring and summer because of a shoulder injury, one that required surgery but won't keep him out when the Volunteers get to work on what they hope will be their first SEC East title since 2007. He's confident in his return and in his own abilities.
"If I ain't the greatest then I'm headed for it," Jalen Reeves-Maybin tweeted recently.
Reeves-Maybin has topped the 100-tackle mark each of the past two years, and another season of that will match A.J. Johnson's feat of three consecutive 100-tackle outputs from 2012 to 2014. Reeves-Maybin also had six sacks, 14 tackles for loss, four pass breakups and two forced fumbles in 2015, getting involved in every way imaginable.

We are simply LOADED :rock:

Please stop with the hype! Let's stay under everyone's radar and surprise them. Would rather have them hyped at the end of the season after we have decimated everyone in our path!
