Warren Burrell details being more confident entering junior season

Tennessee’s Warren Burrell details being more confident entering junior season.

Warren Burrell enters his third season at Tennessee.

The 6-foot, 190-pound junior has appeared in 17 games for the Vols.

Burrell met with media following Tennessee’s third practice during fall training camp. Burrell discussed how much different a player he is now entering 2021, compared to being a freshman in 2019.

“I feel like I’m much more mature of a player,” Burrell said. “You know how freshmen can be, with jitters and a little bit of anxiety going on. You want to do well in your first game. Now, it’s mostly focusing on going out there, being who I am and playing ball. I’m more confident in my ability of what I’m able to do when I step on the field.”

Burrell also discussed areas of his game he has improved on.

“I want to try to improve all around, but the main thing for me is I want to get my hands on the ball more,” he said. “I’ve been doing whatever it takes, as far as catching jugs or even working with the quarterbacks — doing what I have to do, to make sure I get both of my hands on the ball and create turnovers.”
