Just got out of practice. Saw Josh Malone make a nice leaping catch on a red zone one-on-one drill. Saw a few more drops in routes on air than the UT coaching staff would like to see, but Preston Williams looks pretty sharp.

UT practice : WR Jaye Rochell of Norcross, Ga. Returned to team Saturday after Cody Blanc left, keeping UT at 105 limit for August drills. UT can expand roster to 130 when school starts Aug. 17. QBs thrw well firts few periods. Jarrett Guarantano has strong, accurate arm. During drills with 3 QBs passing to 3 receivers running different routes v. air, often times all 3 passes completed. WR Vincent Perry is practicing though he is not academically eligible this season. Former Vol great Deon Grant attended practice. DT Shy Tuttle was in shoulder pads and helmet and did some drills during open viewing of practice.

Austin Bornheim
Those in green non-contact jerseys at UT practice: JRM, Jalen Hurd, DJ Henderson, Micah Abernathy, Jauan Jennings, and Austin Smith.

Tennessee CB Emmanuel Mosley continues his impressive camp, PBU vs. Preston Williams in 1-on-1s today. Jesse Re Simonton on Twitter: "Tennessee CB Emmanuel Mosley continues his impressive camp, PBU vs. Preston Williams in 1-on-1s today. https://t.co/XVYfPkaBLy"

#Vols star LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin takes exception to TE Ethan Wolf shoving him for a touchdown during 1-on-1s. http://twitter.com/JesseReSimonton/status/762033567283179520/video/1

We did see some goal line one one's. After two overthrows and another incomplete, Callaway had a win, Malone had a win over Sutton. Wolf beat Jalen Reeves-Maybin (questionable offensive pass interference).

Emmanual Moseley had a PBU on Preston Williams on a nice play against Williams. However, Williams continues to impress everyone and appears to be leading the receivers in helmet stickers. Williams was sporting 63 effort stickers, money size stickers, and orange bomb stickers.

Callaway had a touchdown on Justin Martin in one on ones and Croom had a catch over Moseley.

In ol-dl one on one work, Drew Richmond had some good reps in the pass pro work particularly against Kyle Phillips. Mixon had a couple of good reps it appeared. Vereen got Richmond once. Quay Picou had a winning rep against someone. It looked like Jashon Robertson had a good rep against McKenzie.

I thought it was a great day for the quarterbacks and wide receivers.

Even in a green jersey, I'm so impressed by Jauan Jennings who continues to show a competitive streak that is second to none. Add in Preston Williams who is showing an ability to stay consistent and watch out. All that and I still think Josh Malone is going to have a big year. He and Dobbs have a great chemistry.

Drew Richmond is impressive in pass blocking. That's his strength and if he can get a better grasp and push in the run game then I don't think there is a doubt he can be the starter at left tackle. I'll also add that while Nathan Niehaus isn't going to play this year, he really impresses me with quick feet and great lateral movement. The next year in the weight room could be huge for him. Brett Kendrick did get beat pretty bad during 1 on 1's, but I'm not worried about him. He's shown a toughness over the last year so one rep isn't gong to crush him.

Linebacker Quarte Sapp continues to impress me and I think it says a lot about the sophomore for him to go 1 on 1 with an offensive lineman. He didn't win the rep, but he should be expected too.

Price

In a marquee match-up Josh Malone made a really nice end zone catch against Cam Sutton. Freshman Marquez Callaway got loose from Justin Martin to make a grab in the corner. Ethan Wolf caught one on JRM but seemed to pretty clearly push off.

Drew Richmond looked like he had a couple of nice reps against Kyle Phillips first and then later against Vereen.

Dimarya Mixon had a couple of very nice reps, maybe the best one we saw when he got by Brett Kendrick. Later on he also came out well in a match-up with freshman OL Marcus Tatum. Tatum later had a good rep stoning Quarte Sapp. Austin Sanders continues to show some toughness, had a really good rep against Kongbo in 1-on-1 and Jashon Robertson held his own when matched up against McKenzie.

Preston Williams made a couple of acrobatic catches on the sideline, I'm about ready to get on the hype train and buy stock in Brandon Johnson. I'm also liking Devante Brooks more and more. Hope he can stay healthy, but he's a nice looking prospect IMO.

On the offensive front clearly nothing has been decided yet but looks like Richmond might be a little ahead at LT based on watching today.

Rob Lewis

Emmanuel Moseley had a really nice pass breakup. Although, the ball should have been higher in the air.

Josh Malone had a nice double move on Cam Sutton for a touchdown pass thrown by Josh Dobbs.

On the first three reps, though, the quarterback either held the ball or made a bad throw. Foreman had tight coverage on one of the plays.

Marquez Callaway had a nice catch over Justin Martin.

The offensive line looked better in the work we saw with Jashon Robertson winning a rep against McKenzie and Chance Hall with a nice win over LaTroy Lewis. Also, Drew Richmond continues to show he's a pretty good pass protector.

Dimarya Mixon had a nice rep against against Brett Kendrick, too.

Outside of that, a lot of individual drills going on today before we got kicked out. Preston Williams and Josh Malone made some really nice grabs on air and Brandon Johnson continues to look good as a freshman.

During the drill, Richmond called out defensive end Cory Vereen and requested to go up against him. I don’t think he’ll be calling him out again any time soon, though, because Vereen got the better of Richmond with an explosive burst off the line. Marcus Tatum also called out Dimarya Mixon.

It may just be me, but it looks like Josh Dobbs has added a little touch on his deep pass. Once again, this was with him facing no pressure from a pass rush, but he was able to put a little more lift on his deep balls and made some pretty passes down the field, most notably one that sailed right into the arms of freshman receiver Marquez Callaway. Quinten Dormady also made a very nice, well thrown deep pass to Jeff George.

Alvin Kamara looks strong. Everyone knows he has the speed and elusiveness to make him a dangerous running back and receiver, but he looks like he’s added even more muscle. The term “bowling ball” is used to describe a more compact running back that can still pack a punch, and that certainly applies to Kamara. He made a huge impact against one of the trainers holding a pad while running with the ball in his hand, lowering his shoulder and plowing right past him.

Rutherford

-- Linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin and Austin Smith, wide receiver Jauan Jennings, running back Jalen Hurd and defensive backs D.J. Henderson and Micah Abernathy began practice in green no-contact jerseys. Reeves-Maybin, Smith and Jennings are recovering from injuries suffered in the spring. Hurd, the Vols workhorse running back, generally has his practice contact limited because of the wear and tear he goes through during the season.

-- The Vols began practice with a one-on-one red zone drill. Tight end Jason Croom made an impressive touchdown catch, and wide receiver Josh Malone made a touchdown grab over star cornerback Cameron Sutton. Cornerback Emmanuel Moseley broke up a pass intended for wide receiver Preston Williams.

Josh Malone looks sharp. Josh was in on many drills this afternoon and certainly rose above the rest. Any doubts about his past performances may be put to rest this year as his confidence and ability has seemed to be improved. Josh was even pitted against preseason 2nd Team All-SEC corner back Cam Sutton and reeled in a beautiful catch for a touchdown. A lot of potential for a breakout year for the Junior receiver.

Butch Jones said the battles at the two offensive tackle positions are wide open.

Jason Croom had an incredible TD catch in the endzone that was put up on the team snapchat. Callaway also caught one in the corner against what looked like justin martin.

edit: The Croom catch was against Mosely. Also, Kongbo had at least one dominating rep in pass rush drills. Should be some good highlights from this practice.
