Back to offensive linemen, K’Rojhn Calbert is another player who committed to Tennessee football expecting to play in the spread offense, and he did spend one year playing in such a system. As a result, entering his fifth-year senior season, transitioning to Josh Heupel’s spread offense shouldn’t be the worst thing for him.

However, Calbert was beginning to emerge as a star more in the pro-style offense. In 2019, with the arrival of Jim Chaney, he played in all 13 games and started in five of them at right tackle. Then he regressed in a major way last year, playing in just nine games.

Taking all that into account, the in-state product of Warren County Senior High School has a lot to prove this spring. He has to prove he can play in a new system even more so than a couple of other guys, and he also has to somehow return to what he was emerging into during his redshirt sophomore season on Rocky Top.

There is a level of versatility Calbert has shown, as he can play on the inside as well as the outside, although the bulk of his experience is at tackle. He’ll have to make sure he stands out this spring, and he’s not close to a lock to start like the other linemen we named, but standing out in the spring can go a long way.
