Tennessee might be know as “Wide Receiver U”, but they’re well on their way to becoming “Defensive Line U”.

The Vols’ 2015 recruiting class includes one of the most impressive defensive line hauls you’ll ever see.

And Darrell Taylor is a huge part of that class.

Taylor needs to bulk up (as is the case with most freshmen) and could be a candidate for a redshirt as a freshman (a luxury the Vols will have this year, that they didn’t have last season), but he should be a solid player for the Volunteers for years to come.
