Sack Tennessee sack of the day……….moreview

The defense probably played almost everybody on the roster today, so it was hard for players to stand out consistently, but Tyre West looked really good today. He logged two TFLs and a sack, Tennessee’s only sack of the day.The Volunteers have had varying degrees of success on the field and in the NFL Draft during the three-year tenure of Josh Heupel at Tennessee. The program had a top-10 pick in 2023 when the Chicago Bears selected offensive tackle Darnell Wright. That feat could be duplicated next April.The defense didn’t log many negative plays statistically, but that was more a factor of Chattanooga running a lot of gimmicks that made it hard for Tennessee to get stops behind the line of scrimmage, but West was living back there when he was on the field. James Pearce Jr is going to get a lot of attention, which leaves room for the backside to perform really well, and that’s where Tyre West has an opportunity to shine.Presently it looks like a one-man show for next-level prospects at Tennessee, and that man’s name is James Pearce Jr. The junior is coming off a banner season a year ago in which he posted 10 sacks and 14.5 TFLs. He’s an incredibly athletic pass rusher who can come out of a three-point stance and stand over tackle. Pearce is a quick-twitch athlete who is not only a disruptive force up the field; he can make plays in space as well. He needs to add bulk to his frame and get stronger, yet Pearce has a ton of upside.projectionKeep an eye on Jalen McMurray, a transfer from Temple who had a terrific campaign in 2022 before struggling last season. McMurray was considered a mid-round prospect before taking a step back in 2023
