Thoughts: There are a lot of options up front for the Vols, particularly at defensive end. I didn’t even have room for potential contributors such as Dimarya Mixon, Andrew Butcher, Darrell Taylor and others. Defensive tackle look decent, though the Vols would like another option or two to emerge. The future of Alexis Johnson, who is currently suspended indefinitely, could certainly play into that.
