One of the biggest stories of the week coming out of Tennessee’s spring practice was the move of freshman receiver Alontae Taylor to defensive back. Taylor, a four-star early enrollee, was the next to try his hand at cornerback as Tennessee tries to establish some depth in the secondary.
“I think Alontae can play a lot of positions,” Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt said on Thursday. “He was a high school quarterback and he returned kicks, so he’s not going to play quarterback here so every position is new. He’s going to be learning all of them.
