Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel discussed Sampson’s performance in the Vols’, 45-14, win versus UTSA.
“Dylan has been a leader on the practice field and a leader in the locker room,” Heupel said. “Competitive and willing to do whatever to help the team. When he has the ball in his hands he’s done a good job of reading it. Delivering blocks. He made a backdoor cut tonight, his flow over the top happens. He’s really efficient in what he’s done. He’s going to continue to go up, too.”
