Tennessee practiced for the third time during fall training camp Wednesday.
Following practice, second-year linebackers coach Brian Jean-Mary met with media.
Jean-Mary discussed redshirt senior linebacker Jeremy Banks.
“I think with his maturity, which I think he’s grown in leaps and bounds since I’ve gotten here, and playing under control, he’s done that in these first three practices,” Jean-Mary said of Banks. “That’s been impressive. Jeremy is not always going to be the most vocal leader, but he does lead by example. He kind of does predict the temperature of the team.
“I think when he comes out and has the right type of energy and juice, the whole team feeds off of that, obviously the defense more than the offense. If he keeps going in that direction, expect for him to have a big year in every aspect as a stack linebacker, a blitzer and a coverage linebacker because he has that kind of ability.”
