8. LB Gavin Bryant
Why: The hard-hitting linebacker is a little bit down the depth chart behind established veterans such as Jalen Reeves-Maybin and A.J. Johnson.
Future outlook: Bryant should have a role on the team as soon as next year. He’s a natural special teams player – a guy who flies around and is a big hitter. And with Johnson out of the picture next year at linebacker, the Vols will be looking for younger players such as Bryant to step up.
