KNOXVILLE – After missing spring practices the last two seasons while rehabilitating serious injuries, Tennessee rising senior defensive tackle Shy Tuttle should be healthy enough to participate when the Volunteers open the 2018 spring session next week.
That’s good news for first-year head coach Jeremy Pruitt, who will be looking for a nose tackle in the 3-4 defensive scheme he plans to install.
Tuttle fits the profile physically and should be the front-runner at the position in the wake of Kahlil McKenzie’s unexpected departure for the NFL draft.
