Butch JonesKNOXVILLE – Tennessee is trying to put the finishing touches on a highly-touted 2014 recruiting class.
The Volunteers also face the challenge of replacing their entire offensive line and six departed senior defensive linemen.
Yet the question mark at the quarterback position is probably the program’s biggest offseason storyline.
The competition for next season, again a four-man race between rising senior Justin Worley, rising sophomores Nathan Peterman and Josh Dobbs and redshirted freshman Riley Ferguson, is already underway.
“All even, starting from ground zero,” Tennessee coach Butch Jones said Thursday afternoon during his first meeting with the media since a 27-14 win at Kentucky completed a 5-7 season.
