Almost all of the remaining members set to join Tennessee football for 2022 have now arrived on campus. Summer classes are underway, and the summer enrollees who didn’t arrive back in January to take part in spring practice are on Rocky Top. That includes eight members of the Vols’ 2022 recruiting class, three transfers and one late signee.

The Vols haven’t completed their roster yet entering Josh Heupel’s second season, as Australian punter is technically not part of this group of enrollees. Still, he wouldn’t play this year anyway with Paxton Brooks still in the system. That’s more relevant for 2023.

Which of these summer enrollees could make a splash this year? With all of them in the system, that’s what we’re going to break down now. Only the scholarship players who arrived in June count, as we already did a post on walk-ons and early enrollees. Let’s go ahead and rank Tennessee football’s 12 summer enrollees.

Here is the potential impact of the Tennessee football Volunteers’ new arrivals.

As an interior offensive lineman who doesn’t play center, Masai Reddick joins a rotation where Tennessee football is loaded.

It’s difficult enough to be going to a position that is set. However, Masai Reddick is set to join a guard rotation that already had early enrollees competing for depth spots there, and he doesn’t bring a ton of hype. Coming out of Detroit, Reddick was a three-star across the board, so he is already a project.

Standing between 6’3″ and 6’4″ and weighing in the range of 278 to 330 pounds, the Michigan kid has potential, but the Vols didn’t lose anybody at guard. No signs point to Reddick being able to play center, so that means the graduate of Case Technical High School in Wayne County, Mich., won’t make much of an impact this year.

Now, Tennessee football is losing Jerome Carvin next year, and Ollie Lane and Kingston Harris are veterans, so spots will open up very soon. As a result, Reddick is a great pickup for the program long-term. This year, however, without the extra spring practices and with his expectations as a project, his impact will be minimal.
