The talented Georgia native, along with sophomore Jalen Hurd, will give the Vols one of the most potent one-two rushing attacks in the SEC in 2015.

Hurd was forced to carry the running game on his shoulders in 2014. With Kamara on board, he won’t have to do that in 2015.

Tennessee is stocking up some elite talent for a run at the SEC East.

Alvin Kamara, one of those elite recruits, is a player that could have a Cordarrelle Patterson like impact in 2015.

Hopefully for Vol fans, he’ll decide to stick around longer than Patterson.
