Tennessee staff experiments with several positional changes during Tuesday practice

Jeremy Pruitt made some headlines before spring practice, announcing that Tyler Byrd and Carlin Fils-Aime would be working with the defensive backs to start the year. Pruitt noted that this was far from final as he and his staff tried to maximize the Tennessee roster.

Entering the third week of practice, we got some more positional changes. According to multiple reports from practice, Tennessee moved at least six players to different positions today.

Alontae Taylor: WR to DB

Matthew Butller: DL to OL

Greg Emerson: DL to OL

LaTrell Bumphus: DE to TE

Tyler Byrd: DB to WR

Obviously, the most notable move here is Byrd going back to receiver.
