This broke late yesterday, and I didn't see anything about it on the board, so apologize if I am opening up a can of rehash.
Jabari Small, co- #RB, has opted out of the bowl game. Jabari started 24 games at UT, amassed 2,122 yards (#16 all-time at UT) and rushed for 475 yards this season. He joins Jaylen Wright, who rushed for 1,013 yards this season, as an opt out.
Expect the starter to be sophomore Dylan Samson, who rushed for 471 yards and had 175 yards receiving this season. He will likely split time with Freshman Cameron Seldon, who had 54 yards on 12 carries this season.
There's a whole lotta workload to be covered in that backfield to take the pressure off a true frosh starting QB facing off with Phil Parker's defense. Wonder how good of blockers these young bucks are with minimal field time
Good luck Vols!
