Linebacker

Grade: B
The linebacker group is similar to the defensive linemen group for me.
Will Ignont is the star of the show here. But I also have high hopes for Shanon Reid, a guy that I can see making an impact as an outside linebacker.
Marquez Bembry is a bit of a wildcard. He could end up being a defensive end, especially if the Vols need the depth there more.
Overall I think Tennessee signed some quality linebackers that will provide some much needed depth.
Injuries devastated the Vols at this position in 2016, exposing the team’s lack of depth.
