KNOXVILLE – Derek Dooley apparently thinks as highly of JerQuari Schofield as his predecessor did.
Schofield, considered by former University of Tennessee football coach Lane Kiffin as one of the nation’s top offensive line signees last season, has become a respected redshirt freshman guard under Dooley.
Dooley praised the 6-foot-6, 331-pound Schofield on Sunday.
“Schofield is really having a great camp,” Dooley said. “You watch his progress, and that’s where you see it. He starts to understand things and play with better technique, and he’s a big guy. He’s going to be a really good football player.
“He’s probably playing the best up front right now as anybody.”
