Tennessee needs to fill a huge void following defensive end Derek Barnett’s departure. Barnett, who holds the Volunteers’ career sacks record, led the team in tackles for loss during each of his three seasons in Knoxville. He also led the team in sacks during the past two seasons.
So who will replace Barnett as the team’s top pass rusher? Well, it’s actually not that simple.

Along with Barnett, the Vols will need to replace several other veteran linemen including Corey Vereen and LaTroy Lewis.
