Tennessee has some questions entering this season, but depth at the skill positions isn't one of them. Particularly at tight end, where Tennessee lost Miles Kitselman, the Volunteers are locked and loaded with guys like Ethan Davis, Trent Thomas, DaSaahn Brame, Cole Harrison, Luca Wolf and Drake Martinez.
Easily the most coveted prospect of the group is Brame, who chose Tennessee over Oregon two recruiting cycles ago. The Derby, Kansas native was a 4-star prospect ranking inside of the top 50 overall by On3. Standing in at 6-5, 240 pounds, Brame is a matchup nightmare waiting to happen.
Going into year two and moving up a notch or two on the depth chart, Brame should have plenty more opportunities as a sophomore this season.
"One, just mastery of the offense, knowing what to do," Tennessee tight ends coach Alec Abeln said of Brame. "It's hard to do anything at a high level until you feel really confident in what you're doing. I think to the last point, man, the work that those guys have done in the weight room, um, on the field, those guys are moving better, they're stronger, more explosive, allowing him to translate in the box a little bit more. And I'm really excited to see what he'll do this camp."
Brame, just like many others on the roster, is up ten pounds from last season's listing. He appeared in nine games as a true freshman despite being buried at fourth on the depth chart. Brame ended up catching six passes for 63 yards, three of which came against Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Interestingly enough, Brame was also used a bit as a slot option later in the year as the injuries piled up.
