This week, SDS has been counting down the top 25 receivers in SEC history while also ranking the top 5 wideouts at some of the SEC’s most legendary programs.

That fun continues as we rank the top 5 Tennessee Volunteer wide receivers of all-time. The Tennessee program is one of the oldest and most illustrious in SEC history, and trimming this list to just five names was certainly no easy feat.

Nevertheless, we picked apart the numbers, read through the history books and formed this list. Take a look:

5. Robert Meachem (2004-06): Meachem was an established part of the Tennessee offense his first two years on campus (54 catches, 842 yards, 6 touchdowns) but it was his junior season in 2006 that earns him a spot on this list. That season he caught 71 passes for close to 1,300 yards and 11 touchdowns, proving himself to be as dominant as any wideout in the nation. He earned first-team All-America honors that season and went on to be drafted by the New Orleans Saints in lieu of spending his senior season with the Vols. Meachem ranks in the top 10 in school history in catches, yards and touchdowns, and had he stayed for a fourth season he’d rank even higher on all three lists.

Stats: 125 catches, 2,140 yards, 17 TDs

4. Larry Sievers (1974-76): When Sievers graduated from Tennessee, his 117 career catches and 1,924 career yards stood as program records. Those records have since been surpassed as college football has grown more pass-dependent, but bigger numbers posted by modern stars haven’t overshadowed the impact Sievers made in his three seasons as a Volunteer. He was a two-time All-American and still ranks in the top 10 in program history in catches and yards despite playing in an era when throwing the ball was a much smaller part of the game. No Tennessee receiver has earned multiple All-America honors since Sievers.

Stats: 117 catches, 1,924 yards, 8 TDs

3. Peerless Price (1995-98): Price starred at Tennessee during its heyday in the mid-1990s when it won two SEC championships and the first-ever BCS National Championship in 1998. The Vols lost just five total games during Price’s four years on campus, and they finished all four seasons ranked in the top 10 in the Associated Press Poll. Price was a big reason for that success, amassing more than 600 yards in three of his four seasons in the lineup. His senior season in 1998 was his best, as he caught 61 passes for 920 yards and 10 touchdowns in his lone season catching passes from Tee Martin (Peyton Manning was his quarterback from 1995-97). Price ranks among the top 5 in Tennessee history in catches, yards and touchdowns and he was one of the stars of one of Tennessee’s best teams ever in 1998, which holds a special place in Vols’ history.

Stats: 147 catches, 2,298 yards, 19 TDs

2. Carl Pickens (1989-91): Pickens never posted the kind of numbers as a receiver that make your jaw drop, but he was one of the most explosive athletes in the nation during his three-year career in Knoxville. He caught at least 49 passes and cleared 850 yards in each of his final two seasons at Tennessee, averaging more than 17 yards per catch both seasons. He also added two return touchdowns throughout his career and even intercepted four passes as a freshman splitting time on both offense and defense. However, even if you factor out his success on defense and special teams, Pickens remains one of Tennessee’s most dazzling wideouts ever. Few in school history were as athletically gifted as he, and Pickens used those gifts to twice earn All-Pro honors in the NFL after leaving UT.

Stats: 109 catches, 1,875 yards, 13 TDs

1. Joey Kent (1993-96): Kent is Tennessee’s all-time leader in catches, yards and touchdowns for a career. There’s no arguing he’s the best in Tennessee history and among the best in SEC history as well. He never posted fewer than four touchdowns in any of his four collegiate seasons, even catching five touchdown passes out his 10 total receptions as a freshman. Kent posted back to back 1,000-yard seasons in 1995-96 with Manning engineering the offense, hauling in 137 receptions and 16 touchdowns in those two years. He even got to play with fellow UT quarterback legend Heath Shuler his first two years on campus in 1993-94. The knock on Kent is his teams never won an SEC or national championship in four years, but on a personal level Kent was a dynamic force few could slow down, and his tandems with Shuler and Manning were legendary, earning him the No. 1 spot on this list.

Stats: 183 catches, 2,814 yards, 25 TDs
