Micah Abernathy is exactly what Butch Jones loves in a cornerback — long and tall.

The Georgia native will instantly provide some much needed depth in the secondary and should see some early action on special teams.

Butch Jones and his staff have proved they have a knack for finding talented defensive backs. I would expect Abernathy to be a very productive player at Tennessee.
