Andrew Butcher is another player that, due to the amount of talent in Tennessee’s 2015 recruiting class, might get overlooked.
And again, it shouldn’t be that way.
Butcher, as an early enrollee, will instantly provide the Vols with some depth at the defensive end position. He may even have a shot to crack the two-deep rotation as a true freshman.
The Georgia native will also need to bulk up a bit, but his early enrollment will help greatly in that area.
