KNOXVILLE – Kahlil McKenzie arrived on Tennessee’s campus as a freshman last summer with greatness as the goal for himself and for his football team.
Nearly a year later, the objective remains the same for the big defensive tackle.
Now, though, McKenzie has a better grasp of how to attack the mission he’s trying to accomplish heading into his sophomore season with the Volunteers.
Defensive lineman Kahlil McKenzie (99) takes a break on the bench. The University of Tennessee Orange/White Spring Football Game was held at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville on April 16, 2016.“You come into college and you want to be great,” the former five-star recruit said earlier this month.
“Then you realize that everybody wants to be great, so then you have to figure out what’s going to be that thing that sets you apart. That’s what I think I’m doing right now, is finding that thing that’s going to set me apart, that’s going to make me different to make me the best football player I can be so I can be great.
