Vols WR Marquez North Out For Season

On Saturday night, after the Vols’ loss to Missouri, Butch Jones announced that sophomore wide receiver Marquez North is out for the rest of the season with an injured shoulder.

North didn’t dress out for Tennessee’s game against Missouri.

This apparently means that if the Vols reach a bowl game, North will not be available.

The North Carolina native finished the 2014 season with 30 receptions for 320 yards and four touchdowns.

North’s season was mired by injuries and extra attention from opposing defenses.

The Vols have dealt with a lot of injuries at the wide receiver position this season. What seemed like a deep position group, was revealed to be quite thin.

The good news for the Vols is that all of their key contributors at wide receiver will return next season.
