Tennessee Volunteers Midseason Report
The Tennessee Volunteers have finished the first half of the season, which gives the Vols a clear picture of how some of their players have performed at all three levels of the game.
Daune Morris Stock Up
Morris is by far one of the better rushing options in the SEC when it comes to being a No.2 option.He has 332 rushing yards this season with an average of 6.1 yards per carry.
Ory Williams Stock Down
Williams was originally expected to be a season-long starter but offensive lineman Jesse Perry won the job as the other offensive tackle on the other side of David Sanders Jr.
Xavier Gilliam Stock Up
Gilliam is a force on the interior and is one of the players who has properly earned himself a likely spot within the first two rounds of the upcoming NFL Draft.
Shamurad Umarov Stock Down
Umarov has struggled this season enough to see that Nic Moore provides the same, if not better, protection at guard than Umarov.
Trent Thomas Stock Up
Thomas has taken a massive step forward in the receiving game, improving as the No. 2 tight end on the roster after Ethan Davis missed the last four contests.
Travis Smith Jr. Stock Down
Smith Jr. has been quiet and yet to find his footing in the offense, trailing behind TK Keys as the No. 5 wide receiver.
