KNOXVILLE — With Tennessee just five days from the start of spring football practice, the Times Free Press is taking a position-by-position look at the Volunteers as they return to the practice field to continue preparations for the 2015 season, Butch Jones’s third as coach. The series finishes up its preview of the offense with today’s look at the offensive line before turning to the defense on Friday.
WHO’S BACK
> Marcus Jackson (R-Sr.): After taking a voluntary redshirt in 2013, Jackson started 12 games at left guard in 2014, only missing the Alabama game due to an injury.
> Kyler Kerbyson (R-Sr.): In his first year as a starter, Kerbyson, who continues to work at tackle, was a versatile and valuable piece, starting every game at three different positions — left tackle (10 games), right tackle (two) and left guard (1) — and playing everywhere but center over the course of the season.
