Tennessee football practice report: Vols open spring | Times Free Press

*Justin Worley took the first-team reps at quarterback during a period where the 11-man offense drives down the field on air to improve on its tempo and pace. Marlin Lane was the tailback with the first group, and the receivers were Marquez North, Jason Croom and junior college transfer Von Pearson, who is working in the slot spot in the absence of Pig Howard.

*Quarterback Riley Ferguson redshirted last season largely because of a fractured tibia suffered in mid-season, and he still has a sleeve on his right lower leg. He even pulled out of a drill momentarily favoring that leg.

The first team nickel defense lined up this way: up front Corey Vereen, Owen Williams, Danny O'Brien, Jordan Williams; at linebacker it was A.J Johnson and Curt Maggitt. And the five defensive backs were Cam Sutton and Malik Foreman at cornerback, Justin Coleman at the nickel, and at safety it was Lemond Johnson and Devaun Swafford.

Marquez North looked like a fourth-year player in many regards from a physical appearance, while it was obvious that both Riley Ferguson and Josh Dobbs had added weight --- particularly Dobbs. Marlin Lane also was physically bigger.

Curt Maggitt was on the practice field and going through drills without a brace, instead wearing a light wrap below his knee. Riyahd Jones practiced with a sleeve on his right leg after working through a nagging calf injury last season.

Later Azzanni put tennis balls in each hand of kick and punt returners — Malone, North, Pearson, Jones, Lane, Cam Sutton, Malik Foreman, Cody Blanc — while waving a towel in their face with the ball in the air.

Receivers working with Zach Azzanni caught machine-shot tennis balls with one hand and worked with the JUGS machine on turning and catching.

Ferguson: My leg was 100 percent for the kentucky game.

Ferguson: I'm focused on this year. I listen to what the coaches say and do what they say.

Ferguson: my weight is the biggest thing, I came in at 173, now I'm 198.
