There’s a reason that Tennessee is know as “Wide Receiver U”.
It’s because they sign players like Preston Williams.
Williams is one of the nation’s top rated wide receivers. He has prototypical size and speed that gives him the potential to be a difference maker for the Vols.
Tennessee is loaded at wide receiver and Williams is coming off an injury, so I’m not sure how much the Virginia native will see the field in 2015.
But one thing’s for certain — if he’s able to contribute in 2015, Butch Jones will find a way to make room for him on the field.
