Quarterbacks Look Crisp in Limited Viewing
Tennessee's quarterbacks mostly worked underneath on shorter throws on Saturday morning, but they did look crisp. They worked different routes with the running backs out of the backfield early on as well. Joe Milton spent time coaching Nico Iamaleava up after each session, as the two seem to be hitting it off well. As expected, Iamaleava's off is live and certainly looks like he has the zip and touch to make all of the throws Tennessee will want him to make.
Wide Receiver Rotation as Expected
Tennessee will be without its top two options at receiver in the Orange Bowl with Jalin Hyatt and Cedric Tillman both opting out. Today, we saw Bru McCoy, Ramel Keyton and Squirrel White first though the line as expected. Keep in mind, the Vols will certainly need younger guys to step in behind those guys, as Jimmy Calloway and Jimmy Holiday both entered the transfer portal earlier this month.
First Look at Early Enrollees
Multiple Tennessee early enrollees rolled into campus over the past couple of days, we complied a list at the end of the article, but they all looked the part today from a physical standpoint and are what you would expect a top-ten program to bring in. However, they are clearly going to look like guys that are just starting their careers as they adjust to the pace and feel of practices and learn new drills. This is just a nice early time for growth. Sham Umarov had a couple of nice reps with his feet working with the offensive line. Did not have a chance to see all of the defensive guys.
