DeSean Bishop is one of the best running backs in the country. He will no doubt be the bell cow for Tennessee next fall, but the Vols need a backup out of the Transfer Portal. Star Thomas declared for the NFL Draft, and Peyton Lewis is off to the portal.
Landing a versatile back capable of 10–12 carries per game will be crucial, giving Bishop a chance to stay fresh and maximize his impact on every touch. Plus, if Bishop were to go down, the Vols need a capable running back who can be a difference-maker.
