Tennessee hauled in 29 new players from their 2015 recruiting class on National Signing Day, pulling in what is ranked as a consensus top 5 signing class by every major recruiting service. Ten of those players are already on campus as early enrollees, and the remaining 19 officially joined as Vols Wednesday.

Almost a month ago, we broke down all the of the early enrollees and provided detailed profiles for all of them. Now, we will do the same for the 19 new signees that joined the Vols on National Signing Day.

The 19 newcomers will be split up into offensive and defensive players for the profiles, and we will start by breaking down the 8 newest Vols on the defensive side of the ball.

Here are profiles on the 8 defensive players who signed with Tennessee on National Signing Day.
