Projected backup place kickers

Toby Wilson; Sophomore; 5’10” 174 pounds; Brentwood, Tenn.

A walk-on out of Brentwood Academy, Toby Wilson hasn’t proven anything at this level for Tennessee football. However, he was 10-of-10 on field goals in high school in 2017. That’s the best we cann go on to put him here for right now.

Marshall Ware; Sophomore; 5’10” 175 pounds; Germantown, Tenn.

Just like Toby Wilson, Marshall Ware is a walk-on entering his sophomore who still hasn’t proven anything. Coming out of Germantown High School, this time in West Tennessee, Ware also doesn’t have any high school accolades, which is why we have him just behind Wilson, although the winner of the No. 2 place kicker role is a coin toss.

Luke Lynn; Sophomore; 5’9″ 165 pounds; Knoxville, Tenn.

From Nashville to Memphis to Knoxville, the three major cities in the state, Luke Lynn is a local product out of South Doyle High School. He has the same credentials as the other two kickers, but with 10 pounds fewer, his size is the only reason we have him No. 3 on this list. Again, there’s not much to go on with these kickers behind Brent Cimaglia.

Projected backup punter

Brett Graham; Redshirt junior; 6’3″ 200 pounds; State College, Pa.

Yes, Brett Graham is the only other punter on the roster outside of Paxton Brooks. He actually onle started as a punter one year, back in 2017, and he only averaged 38.8 yards per punt. However, seven of his 63 punts went beyond 50 yards, and 20 were pinned inside the 20-yard line. As a result, he’ll clearly back up Brooks here.
