Tennessee enters its second week of fall training camp on Monday.
The Vols have practiced four times since camp started Aug. 4.
Following practice No. 3 of fall training camp, junior linebacker Byron Young met with media. Young transferred from Georgia Military College and enrolled at Tennessee in January.
During Young’s media availability, the 6-foot-3, 243-pound linebacker discussed his focal point coming out of spring football.
“My technique was one of my biggest focuses,” Young said. “During the spring, I kind of struggled with that a little bit. Here now in fall camp, I’ve gotten way better with that — my stance and everything. That was my main focus, my technique.”
Young also discussed playing for defensive assistant Rodney Garner. He credits Garner for helping with his technique.
“Coach Garner’s on me every day and I’m glad he’s on me like that,” Young said. “I wouldn’t want to have it any other way. He’s on me every day and that’s another reason why I got my technique down pat. He pushes me, makes me start over, you know what I’m saying? I love it. He’s one of the greats.
“You look at his stats, he’s really one of the greats. I just take in everything he says, take in the coaching and perform.”
