Receivers/Tight Ends
WR: 1. Marquez Callaway 2. Jordan Murphy
WR: 1. Brandon Johnson 2. Alontae Taylor
WR: 1. Josh Palmer/Latrell Williams 2. Alontae Taylor
TE: 1. Eli Wolf 2. Austin Pope 3. LaTrell Bumphus
Thoughts: No Jauan Jennings for the spring means there will be some shuffling in the fall. But right now, Marquez Callaway and Brandon Johnson are the likely No. 1 and No. 2, and competition at the slot position will be fierce. Alontae Taylor’s impact as an early enrollee will be interesting to gauge.
At tight end, Eli Wolf is really the only tight end with much college experience. But expect four-star JUCO tight end Dominick Wood-Anderson to come in and make things interesting in the fall. For now, though, Wolf, Austin Pope, and LaTrell Bumphus will be the main tight ends seeing time on offense. The Vols will likely run more two tight end sets this year, so expect to see an expanded roster at this unit.
