One of Tennessee’s biggest weaknesses last season was a severe lack of speedy edge defenders. Weathered will help to remedy that this fall.

Weatherd was a four-star recruit coming out of junior college in Texas and considered offers from Auburn and Texas A&M, but ultimately decided to stick with his commitment to Tennessee. His addition means that each of the Vols’ 32 signees have qualified.
