KNOXVILLE — Curt Maggitt’s position is still up for debate.
There’s no question, though, that Tennessee intends to use him in a number of ways as a sophomore linebacker.
After playing some defensive end as well as linebacker early in his freshman season, Maggitt is now exclusively a linebacker. Whether he’ll play inside or outside in the Volunteers’ new 3-4 defense is the new question.
It’s not all dependent on him, either.
“I’m trying to learn a few different positions,” Maggitt said after Friday morning’s practice, UT’s 10th of the spring. “That’s the main thing — knowing it mentally and going out there when I get a few reps, being able to do those 100 percent. The tough part is just knowing it and knowing what you’ve got to do.”
