Two Tennessee true freshman deserved made ESPN’s SEC Freshman Tracker this week. Jalen Hurd for his 100+ yard rushing performance and Todd Kelly Jr. for his athletic interception to go along with four tackles.
RB Jalen Hurd, Tennessee
What he did: Hurd build off of his strong outing against Oklahoma with his first 100-yard game in a 35-32 loss to Georgia. The freshman ran 24 times for 119 yards and a touchdown — all of which set or matched Hurd’s season highs — and caught three passes for 19 yards.What it means: The freshman back and his inexperienced offensive line are starting to find their way. It has been tough sledding in that department for Tennessee, but Hurd’s recent big games have been bright spots.
S Todd Kelly Jr., Tennessee
Recorded four tackles and made a leaping interception in Tennessee’s loss against Georgia.
***UPDATE: I didn’t catch it initially, but Ethan Wolf is also mentioned in the article. H/T to Chi-town-Vol.
TE Ethan Wolf, Tennessee
Returned from injury and had his most productive game yet, finishing with five catches for 69 yards against Georgia.

Looks like Ethan Wolf was also mentioned.
hopefully they do some more draw plays with Hurd and give him a chance to make some yards
Todd Kelly Jr is going to be a good one,in the future
it was great to have Ethan Wolf back
