The Vols’ biggest area of concern is their offensive line.
Butch Jones used a litany of players along the offensive line in 2014, hoping to find a lineup that worked.
While the offensive line did improve throughout the season (thanks mostly to Josh Dobbs taking over at quarterback), there’s still a severe lack of talent and depth on the roster.
Venzell Boulware is a player that should help remedy that.
Boulware is a legitimate SEC tackle that could get a look as early as the 2015 season.
But even if Boulware doesn’t crack the rotation, he’ll still provide UT with much needed depth.
