Tennessee practiced for the first time with shoulder pads on during fall training camp on Saturday.
Linebackers coach William Inge met with media following the Vols' third fall camp practice. He discussed the development of the unit from spring practices to now.
"It's a room that is still, as we would say, growing and developing," Inge said. "The one thing that we can see is you can see a definite impact from the things that coach D.O. (Derek Owings) had to do with them in the weight room, where you could see some true transformation of bodies.
"The mental aspects of everything, for those guys, growing and getting in their preparations during summertime. It's definitely great to see, and now you can see some fast, explosive play, and it shouldn't be a drop off when you have the next group coming in on the field."
Tennessee will kick off its season Sept. 5 versus Furman. The season opener is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. EDT at Neyland Stadium (SEC Network+).
