Tennessee wasn’t up to full song at receiver for the Orange and White Game over the weekend, but that gave us a chance to see some new faces that could potentially crack the rotation this fall.
It was a vanilla scheme playing alongside of mainly reserves, but we were still able to see big flashes out of five-star freshman Mike Matthews and transfer portal prize Chris Brazzell. Add those two into the equation alongside of Bru McCoy, Squirrel White and Dont’e Thornton and you’ve got a pretty exciting group to pair with quarterback Nico Iamaleava.
“With everything, when we first got here as a staff and where our program was at, being smart and intentional with the things that we’ve had to deal with to grow our roster, this is the deepest wide receiver pool that we’ve had,” Josh Heupel said after the spring game.
