When sophomore LB Darrin Kirkland Jr. went down with an ankle injury during the Battle at Bristol game on Saturday, it left Tennessee scrambling for answers at the middle linebacker position.
The Volunteers’ new depth chart reveals the solution the team will go with against Ohio this weekend — junior Colton Jumper:

Hopefully for the Vols, Jumper makes it through the game unscathed, as no backup was listed.
Jumper played in 13 games in 2015, recording 10 tackles.
