Evaluating Tennessee football’s 2021 WR class at dead period

Does Jeremy Pruitt have Tennessee football back on track to become Wide Receiver U once again? The play of Jauan Jennings and Marquez Callaway in 2019 appeared to suggest that, as both players found their ways to NFL rosters back in April.

However, with them gone and two seniors, Josh Palmer and Brandon Johnson, likely to be the go-to wideouts this year, the future of the position is wide open. That’s where recruiting comes into play, and on paper, Pruitt seems to have excelled there.

Ramel Keyton is already one of the guys set to be a future go-to receiver for Tennessee football, and Pruitt added three four-stars in the Vols’ 2020 recruiting class: Jimmy Calloway, Malachi Wideman and Jalin Hyatt.
