KNOXVILLE — A run of one injury after another turned a promising 2014 season into a very frustrating one for Tennessee’s receiving corps.
The position group is hoping to bounce back in 2015.
There’s enough talent at the position – six of the Volunteers’ top nine wide receivers were four- or five-star prospects coming out of high school – that Tennessee should feel confident in the group going into this season.
With a settled situation at quarterback and two dynamic running backs to divert the focus of opposing defenses, it’s time for the wideouts to deliver for the Vols.
“There’s nothing limiting our potential,” sophomore Josh Malone said earlier this month. “I feel like the only thing that can really stop us is us. We’ve got so much talent, and I know as a unit we’re trying to handle everything in a professional manner and really dedicate ourselves to our craft and put ourselves as a unit and as a team in the best situation to win.”
