Tennessee took to Neyland Stadium on Tuesday morning for its first scrimmage of preseason camp. Since the outing, Volunteer Country has worked to gather intel from the scrimmage, and below are the notes we have collected. Position BattlesAll eyes are focused on the left tackle spot, but there are more positions up for grabs than that one currently. At the left tackle spot, we had been hearing plenty of good things about both Jeremiah Crawford and Gerald Mincey, with Mincey generating the most buzz coming out of the weekend. But now, after the scrimmage, we are hearing Crawford took a nice step forward during the scrimmage. Glen Elarbee indicated this scrimmage would go a long way in deciding who earns that spot. Still, both guys repped with the ones, and despite Crawford potentially winning the day, there is still a strong chance we see them rotate early on in the season Nico Iamaleava Jersey. With Kamal Hadden out, the cornerback spot opposite Warren Burrell is up for grabs. Both Brandon Turnage and Christian Charles got reps with the 1 yesterday, but based on current intel, Charles may have the slight edge there. He is a natural athlete that has continued to flash in practice since coming out of the non-contact jersey. Staying in the secondary, the Star position also has plenty of competition at it https://www.volunteersstore.com/Navy_Shuler_Jersey. Veteran Wesley Walker has looked solid to start camp, and it is possible the Georgia Tech transfer gets the nod, but Tamarion McDonald isnt making it easy. McDonald has continued to fly around and make plays all camp, and it sounds like both guys had their moments yesterday. Not ready to call this a position battle yet, but it is certainly heading in that direction. Walker Merrill and Ramel Keyton worked with the 1s at the outside receiver opposite Cedric Tillman, and with Bru McCoy dealing with a small, nagging injury and not being eligible currently, Tennessee needs one of these guys to separate themselves. Keyton has had a strong start to camp, as has Merrill James Pearce Jr. Jersey. Both have let some passes fall to the turf to this point. From what we have gathered, Merrill did catch a touchdown yesterday and did some things well. Both have to take a step forward in blocking on the edge, as this was a huge staple in Tennessee offense last fall.
