One of the best defensive ends in Tennessee football history is gone and beginning his career in the NFL. Another elite pass-rusher on the other end has also departed, as did a third defensive end in the rotation.
Meanwhile, the rest of the guys on the Vols defensive line are unproven or have suffered numerous injuries since their time began in Knoxville.
But a three-star signee at defensive end for the 2017 Tennessee football recruiting class who hasn’t even set foot on campus yet is still promoting this team’s defensive line as the best in the country.
