Tennessee football: 10 players to watch in Vols 2019 spring game

Deangelo Gibbs is a rare case for Tennessee football in this year’s spring game on two fronts. For starters, he doesn’t seem like somebody who would be impactful enough to be on this list. There’s a chance he won’t be eligible to play until 2020, and he likely won’t start at either position he’s at.

However, that uniqueness that should keep him off the list is actually what puts him on the list. Gibbs is the one guy who played multiple positions during spring ball, so it’s up in the air where he will play when he takes the field.

Yes, that’s relevant when you’re examining the future of the roster, so pay attention to where he’s at on Saturday. Maybe he’ll play both positions in the game. If that happens, look at where he performs better.

Although Gibbs doesn’t figure to be a factor this year, the Georgia Bulldogs transfer was not brought in by Jeremy Pruitt for nothing. It’s worth noting he played defensive back at UGA, but we know the Vols have a need at wide receiver starting next year, and they may have a need at slot this year, so there’s an off-chance he fills an immediate void if he’s cleared to play in 2019.
