Defensive Line
DE: 1. Jonathan Kongbo, 2. Deandre Johnson
DT: 1. Shy Tuttle, 2. Alexis Johnson, 3. Kivon Bennett
DE: 1. Kyle Phillips , 2. Matthew Butler
Thoughts:
The starting three along the defensive line for the 3-4 scheme is pretty solidly set in stone. But when the Vols go with four down linemen, who will be that second tackle? Alexis Johnson played that part a lot, but Kivon Bennett impressed in the Orange & White Game too. This is another unit that could see a lot of change once Brant Lawless, JUCO lineman Emmit Gooden, and John Mincey join the fray in the fall.
