Josh Heupel praises a pair of young Tennessee receivers

Tennessee is absolutely loaded at wide receiver, stocked up with four guys that can all win in different ways. That core of Bru McCoy, Ramel Keyton, Squirrel White and Dont’e Thornton will dominate the snaps this year, barring injury. This much we know — but what about the rest of the depth chart?

Kelsey Pope is working to get the next group of Tennessee receivers ready, likely for starting roles next year. That group consists of second-year players Kaleb Webb and Chas Nimrod. With Webb, we saw a flash of brilliance during the Orange and White Game. The 6-3, 198 pound redshirt freshman made a circus catch down the sideline, giving us a preview of what he can bring to Heupel’s vertical passing attack.
