#3) Jaylen Wright

Wright had 12 carries for 115 yards and led the Volunteers in rushing yards on Saturday. Jaylen averaged almost 10 yards per carry and was an absolute horse in the backfield. The Tennessee football running back room is truly a three-headed monster and will be tearing apart defenses this year.

Wright was a huge part of the offense last season and looks to continue that into this season. The 6-foot junior from North Carolina rushed for 875 yards last year and will likely get even more this year.
