Running back Peyton Lewis enters his first season with the Vols. The 6-foot-1, 210-pound freshman enrolled at Tennessee in January.
Lewis did not take part in spring practices due to a shoulder injury.
Following Tennessee’s second practice during fall training camp, he met with media and discussed his process in preparing for the upcoming season.
“I would say it’s day-by-day,” Lewis said. “Everything takes a process. Mistakes happen in order for you to learn. I think that’s been a big part of me, especially being a young guy, but I’m also trying my best not to be a young guy.
“I feel like during the spring is really the time, like a mental block for me. I can take everything mental in and not do everything as physical, and now that I’m here in fall camp, I’ve got a lot of the mental stuff down and I’m able to do a lot of physical stuff. I guess it’s putting everything together, everything is moving smoothly.”
