Thoughts: Without Trey Smith and Chance Hall this spring, the Vols’ offensive line is even more of a mess than it would’ve been otherwise. Expect four-star Jerome Carvin to come in and try to land a spot on the two-deep right away, and Ollie Lane could be forced into the two-deep just because of lack of depth. Many players could move positions as spring advances, but Ryan Johnson is likely the only one suited to play center right now. Marcus Tatum has a lot of experience at tackle, and just about every other lineman the Vols have are “versatile” players who were originally projected as tackles. This unit will need a lot of work.
