John Kelly is a player that’s more important to Tennessee’s 2015 recruiting than most folks probably realize.

The Vols, despite having a stud running back in Jalen Hurd and a future stud in Alvin Kamara, have absolutely no running back depth.

Kelly fits the mold that Butch Jones is looking for and could do a lot of different things for the Vols. He’s a solid addition that will definitely fill a need for Tennessee.
