Tennessee in shoulder pads (shells) for the first time jumped right into the Circle of Life drill. The highlight was freshman Daniel Bituli beat fellow freshman Austin Pope.
Bituli came back against Fils-Aime as Butch called the freshman running back out an he held his own. In probably the most anticipated match up was Drew Richmond and Johnathan Kongbo. It appeared Kongbo might have slightly got the best of him.
Maintenance work continues for guys like Latrell Williams and Shy Tuttle. In green were Austin Smith, JRM, Jauan Jennings.
On the receiver front, I thought Preston Williams continues to look good catching the football. I also like Tyler Bryd. Micah Abernathy looks to be playing fast and continues to get off to a good start this fall camp.
Tonight's practice was obviously big for the linemen as they get their first padded contact work. For the defensive line that's plenty of leverage work, handling double teams and holding their gaps. For the offensive line, it's also about leverage and coaches continue to bark about playing lower.
Tonight's special teams work was about kickoff return where they were terrific a year ago. Evan Berry looks like he's 100% and plenty fast. Kamara, Tyler Bryd, DJ Henderson all fielded some kicks as well.
