Returning backups at OL

Dayne Davis

  • 6’7″ 325 pounds
  • Redshirt junior
  • Bluff City, Tenn. (Sullivan East High School)

If you’re going by experience and development within the system, Dayne Davis is Tennessee football’s best option to replace Cade Mays at right tackle. He actually played 329 snaps last year and has stood out in two straight springs, so watch out for the former walk-on.

Jeremiah Crawford

  • 6’5″ 315 pounds
  • Senior
  • Goddard, Kan. (Goddard High School)

Josh Heupel’s first signee with the Vols  and a junior college transfer out of Butler Community College in Kansas, Jeremiah Crawford played104 snaps last year at tackle. He had the highest PFF regular season grade of any lineman playing over 100 snaps, so he could also replace Mays.

Kingston Harris

  • 6’5″ 326 pounds
  • Redshirt junior
  • Orlando, Fla. (IMG Academy)

An interior lineman, Kingston Harris took a huge step forward last year. He had to develop at the position as a converted defensive lineman, but he played 107 snaps. Once again, he should provide depth at guard.

Jackson Lampley

  • 6’4″ 320 pounds
  • Redshirt junior
  • Nashville, Tenn. (Montgomery Bell Academy)

One of the highly touted members of the Vols’ 2019 recruiting class, Jackson Lampley is still waiting his chance to be a regular contributor. He’s a guard and did appear in 12 games last year, playing 86 snaps, so like Harris, he provides depth.

Parker Ball

  • 6’4″ 290 pounds
  • Redshirt junior
  • Douglasville, Ga. (Douglas County High School)

Another interior blocker with experience, Parker Ball should be able to help some at center. He played 74 snaps last year, and his experience in the program should help with depth.

William Parker

  • 6’5″ 310 pounds
  • Redshirt freshman
  • Nashville, Tenn. (Pearl-Cohn High School)

Arguably the most highly touted member of the Vols’ 2021 class, William Parker is another guy in competition for that tackle spot. He only played 10 snaps last year but should emerge this year.

RJ Perry

  • 6’6″ 325 pounds
  • Redshirt sophomore
  • Fairfield, Ala. (Fairfield Prep High School)

Like Harris, RJ Perry initially committed to UT as a defensive player, so he’s still learning the ropes. However, he played seven games at tackle last year, so he could be in line to provide depth there.

Braeden Krivosh

  • 6’2″ 310 pounds
  • Redshirt sophomore
  • Baltimore, Md. (Calvert Hall High School)

As a walk-on, Braeden Krivosh hasn’t played yet for Tennessee football.
