DE Kyle Phillips
Phillips was on campus in the spring, but not in pads as he rehabbed a shoulder injury. The 6-foot-4, 255-pound freshman has exceptional athleticism for his size, though he’s still working on getting his strength and overall understanding of the position to an SEC level. There’s a ton of depth at defensive end right now, but the Vols will certainly find ways to use Phillips’ strengths this season while grooming him to be a potential starter/impact player down the road a bit.
