3. OT Drew Richmond
The Memphis native was a major coup for Butch Jones and his staff on national signing day in 2015. Richmond has yet to see the field yet as a Volunteer, but 2016 could be a big year for the highly-touted recruit. Former left tackle Kyler Kerbyson has graduated, leaving an opening for Richmond to make some noise.
The redshirt freshman has all the tools a coach looks for in an offensive lineman. He has size, speed, and most importantly, he has spent a year in the system to learn how the offense works. If we learned anything from the appearances of Chance Hall and Jack Jones last season, this class of offensive lineman has the potential to grow up quickly, once they are thrown into the fire. Among the three, Richmond possesses the most pure talent. Tennessee will need him to step up and anchor the left side of the line next season.
