Some notable changes.
It’s SEC Media Days week, which means we get a refreshed look at the Tennessee roster ahead of fall camp. The Volunteers had several jersey number swaps, along with some summer enrollees who picked their number for the first time
Here are the highlights.
- Nico Iamaleava goes back to No. 8 after wearing No. 12 throughout the spring.
- Junior receiver Dont’e Thornton goes from No. 11 to No. 1. The Oregon transfer is set to be a massive part of the Tennessee offense this fall.
- Senior BYU transfer Gabe Jeudy-Lally will also wear No. 1, playing on the other side of the ball.
- Freshman tailback Khalifa Keith checks in at 6-1, 230 pounds. Tennessee has pretty clearly been looking for a bigger back, and he certainly fits that bill.
- Emmanuel Okoye is listed as a tight end. The four-star athlete was projected as an edge prospect by most, but he’ll start on the offensive side of the ball. The move makes sense considering roster numbers.
