Tennessee Football linebacker Henry To’o To’o is an elite linebacker, and SEC Network analyst Cole Cubelic recognizes him as such.

SEC Network analyst Cole Cubelic has been going through different position groups and ranking players and teams throughout the SEC at those positions. If his rankings are accurate, then Tennessee football is setting up for a great season.

His most recent ranking is the top linebackers in the SEC. Cubelic listed his top-five linebackers in the SEC and Tennessee linebacker Henry To’o To’o found himself in the top-five.

To’o To’o was ranked the No. 5 linebacker in the SEC with Monty Rice at No. 4, K.J. Britt at No. 3, Nick Bolton at No. 2, and Dylan Moses at No. 1.

Even though he was ranked at No. 5, that’s really good for a player who only has one season under his belt. The rising sophomore is already seen as a leader on Tennessee’s defense and it looks like he could be leading the SEC at his position before he leaves for the NFL.

After having a rocky start to the season, To’o To’o finished the season with 72 total tackles and showed flashes of being Tennessee’s next great linebacker. It already started to look like he’s starting to live up to the expectations of being a top-50 recruit.

He was named a Freshman All-American so expect that same level of play to return in 2020 with another year of working out under Jeremy Pruitt’s weightlifting program. 72 total tackles could turn into 80 in 2020 and push for 90 or more in 2021.

Next. Tennessee Titans will lean on AJ a Brown to be a leader in 2020. dark

I’m excited to see what To’o To’o can do on the field this fall assuming that the season is played. The Vols have a lot of talent and it will be up to Pruitt to make sure everything comes together on the field this fall.
