Like clockwork, Berry found the end zone time and time again. And, if it was not a touchdown it would be a long return to help give the Vols great field position.
His sophomore season, Berry started becoming known around the nation and was being compared to Devin Hester.
In that season, Berry had 21 kick returns for 804 yards and three touchdowns. It was surprising that teams were even still kicking to him late in the season.
Berry ended his junior season early with a season-ending knee injury but he was on pace to have another all-conference year when it came to returning kicks.

Since the season has been over Berry has come out to say he wants to play offense in the NFL. Which, should not be surprising, there were discussions in Knoxville that Berry would be explosive on offense and that Butch Jones and his coaching staff needed to find a way to get Berry the ball on offense. That did not happen.
