KNOXVILLE — With Tennessee set to start spring football practice Tuesday, the Times Free Press is taking a position-by-position look at the Volunteers as they continue preparations for the 2015 season. The preview wraps up the defense today with a look at the secondary.
WHO’S BACK
* Cam Sutton (Jr.): If opponents didn’t learn in 2013 not to throw to Sutton’s side of the field, surely they know by now. Sutton, a super-competitive film junkie, finished last season with 37 tackles, four for loss, three interceptions and a team-high 16 passes defended. Those numbers didn’t land him on any All-SEC teams, though.
* Brian Randolph (R-Sr.): The veteran safety finished third on the team and third among SEC defensive backs, behind only Alabama’s Landon Collins and Auburn’s Johnathan Ford, with 88 tackles last season. He also broke up five passes, intercepted two and recovered a fumble. Some outlets gave him a third-team All-SEC nod.
