5. Jalen Reeves-Maybin — Linebacker

2013 Class

Jalen Reeves-Maybin played at an extremely high level from the moment he arrived on Tennessee’s campus.

As a freshman, Reeves-Maybin made an impact on special teams, becoming a key player for the Vols.

JRM was inserted into the starting lineup as a sophomore and he immediately proved his worth.

When you watched a Tennessee game in 2014 and 2015 it seemed like JRM was in the middle of every big play. He constantly found himself around the ball.

Reeves-Maybin only played in four games in his senior season, due to injury, and the Vols felt his loss in a big way.
