Jeremy Pruitt wanted big guys on Rocky Top, Tennessee now has them heading into the coach's second training camp
When Jeremy Pruitt arrived on Rocky Top soon after landing the head coaching job at Tennessee, he famously asked, “Where are all the big guys?”
They are here now.
Heading into the second training camp of the Pruitt era on Rocky Top, Tennessee’s program had picture day on campus and many of the players have shared their photos from the event on social media. It hasn’t taken long for these photos to make the rounds on social media and clearly shows that things are different with Pruitt calling the shots in Knoxville.
Pruitt needed bigger players to compete in the SEC and he and his coaches have both recruited those types of players to campus and developed the players already in Knoxville when they were hired.
Here are some of the more impressive photos being shared online:
Freshman defensive lineman Elijah Simmons
Freshman receiver Jerrod Means
Sophomore Princeton Fant
Junior defensive lineman Savion Williams
Junior defensive lineman Darel Middleton
Junior receiver Josh Palmer
As we said, the big guys are now here.
