 Receivers/Tight Ends

WR: 1. Jauan Jennings, 2. Josh Palmer
WR: 1. Marquez Callaway, 2. Jordan Murphy
WR: 1. Brandon Johnson, 2. Latrell Williams
TE: 1. Eli Wolf, 2. Jacob Warren
TE/Fullback: 1. Austin Pope, 2. Ja’Quain Blakely 

Thoughts: 

Though he didn’t participate in spring practices, Jauan Jennings will be the top receiver for the Vols this year. And the growth of Marquez Callaway this spring provides even more promise to this group. Josh Palmer made improvements this spring, and Jordan Murphy took some steps as well. Brandon Johnson remained consistent, and Latrell Williams finally got to show off what he could do when healthy. Eli Wolf seemed to assert himself as the top tight end this spring, but he’ll have plenty of competition when top JUCO tight end Dominick Wood-Anderson joins the roster over the summer. Austin Pope was used as an H-back/fullback during the Orange & White Game, and Ja’Quain Blakely has the build to fill that role too.
