Shy Tuttle, thanks to his status as an early enrollee, should be a canidate to see some meaningful early playing time.

The Vols don’t have a lot of depth at defensive tackle (Jordan Williams exhausted his eligibility, leaving Danny O’Brien and Owen Williams as the top returning options) and Tuttle could step in and immediately make an impact.

Tennessee’s defensive line is setting up to be historically good and Shy Tuttle could be a big part of that.
