Dustin Dopirak Just got out of practice. Saw Josh Malone make a nice leaping catch on a red zone one-on-one drill. Saw a few more drops in routes on air than the UT coaching staff would like to see, but Preston Williams looks pretty sharp.

Jimmy Hyams UT practice : WR Jaye Rochell of Norcross, Ga. Returned to team Saturday after Cody Blanc left, keeping UT at 105 limit for August drills. UT can expand roster to 130 when school starts Aug. 17. QBs thrw well firts few periods. Jarrett Guarantano has strong, accurate arm. During drills with 3 QBs passing to 3 receivers running different routes v. air, often times all 3 passes completed. WR Vincent Perry is practicing though he is not academically eligible this season. Former Vol great Deon Grant attended practice. DT Shy Tuttle was in shoulder pads and helmet and did some drills during open viewing of practice.

Jesse Simonton #Vols WR Josh Malone vs All-American DB Cam Sutton 👀 👀 👀 Jesse Re Simonton on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JesseReSimonton/status/762028887253606400/video/1Tennessee CB Emmanuel Mosley continues his impressive camp, PBU vs. Preston Williams in 1-on-1s today. Jesse Re Simonton on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JesseReSimonton/status/762029481049620481/video/1We did see some goal line one one's. After two overthrows and another incomplete, Callaway had a win, Malone had a win over Sutton. Wolf beat Jalen Reeves-Maybin (questionable offensive pass interference). Emmanual Moseley had a PBU on Preston Williams on a nice play against Williams. However, Williams continues to impress everyone and appears to be leading the receivers in helmet stickers. Williams was sporting 63 effort stickers, money size stickers, and orange bomb stickers. Callaway had a touchdown on Justin Martin in one on ones and Croom had a catch over Moseley. In ol-dl one on one work, Drew Richmond had some good reps in the pass pro work particularly against Kyle Phillips. Mixon had a couple of good reps it appeared. Vereen got Richmond once. Quay Picou had a winning rep against someone. It looked like Jashon Robertson had a good rep against McKenzie.

I thought it was a great day for the quarterbacks and wide receivers.
Even in a green jersey, I'm so impressed by Jauan Jennings who continues to show a competitive streak that is second to none. Add in Preston Williams who is showing an ability to stay consistent and watch out. All that and I still think Josh Malone is going to have a big year. He and Dobbs have a great chemistry.
Drew Richmond is impressive in pass blocking. That's his strength and if he can get a better grasp and push in the run game then I don't think there is a doubt he can be the starter at left tackle. I'll also add that while Nathan Niehaus isn't going to play this year, he really impresses me with quick feet and great lateral movement. The next year in the weight room could be huge for him. Brett Kendrick did get beat pretty bad during 1 on 1's, but I'm not worried about him. He's shown a toughness over the last year so one rep isn't gong to crush him.
Linebacker Quarte Sapp continues to impress me and I think it says a lot about the sophomore for him to go 1 on 1 with an offensive lineman. He didn't win the rep, but he should be expected too.

Wonder why Hurd has been in a non-contact jersey the past few days. Precaution?

Wes Rucker @wesrucker247 6m6 minutes ago Wes Rucker Retweeted Mary Frances Parker First day in pads. Hardly surprising that the passing game wasn’t in top form today. But JMO.

Patrick Brown @patrickbrownTFP 9m9 minutes ago Butch was very complimentary of Jack Jones and Josh Malone after practice, but he didn't sound thrilled with late-practice situational work.
Jones declares Vols' center spot 'absolutely' open competition

Per various observers, Preston Williams and Josh Malone are on a different level, compared to the 2015 season.
There is a healthy competition between the OL and DL. Great one on one match ups.
