Tennessee releases depth chart for season opener against Ball State

 

[KnoxToTheBoro93]

Surprised not to see turnage I’m sure he will play Quite a bit

 

[VFL28]

Would like to see Justin Williams-Thomas get some time. He's from my former high-school.

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

A few surprises there. I thought Keyton would get the nod over Bru.

Also Squirrel not returning kicks is surprising.

Why in the world would you or any coach want a 160lb true freshman returning?

 

[sjt18]

Lots of surprises on D

Coach prefers upper classmen and/or players with experience over starting true freshmen, if possible.

check his stats

i think he has been nagged with some injuries.

don't need him for Ball State hopefully.

I know stature does not always secure OL spots, but damn Mincey is a monster.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Lol where's the poster that said Bru will have to move up the depth chart to get on the field?

Walker Merrill must have a VN account.

 

[clarencepeabody]

Walker Merrill is going to play a lot more than most people expect.

Was Trindon Holiday a 160lb true freshman that will be needed at wr at a school with little depth.

True, I don't see him

 

[HalfullVol]

yes, i was attending conference for work most of last week and just now catching up so

yes, i'm pretty anxious for the season to begin

 

[rdk4121]

More or less how I thought it would go. I now they like to put OR on the depth chart, but whoever is listed first is the one truly ahead. I expect guys like Christian Charles, Juwan Mitchell, and Gerald Mincey to be the one taking the first snap of their respective sides of the ball..

By far the most interesting note is that Kurrott Garland looks like he'll be starting at DT over either Eason or Simmons. Good for him, though we'll obviously be rotating out a good bit between those 3 I mentioned, plus Omari Thomas and DJ Terry. Bumphus can even slide in if needed as well, and I expect to see Dominic Bailey play some real snaps this year.

I'll be very interested to see how much we rotate at WR. I'd say we're pretty deep there, as a lot of these guys have been in the program for several years at this point, but it's time for them to make an impact. Dee Williams being the punt returner is interesting as well, excited to see what he can bring there.
