Josh Heupel recaps Vols’ first scrimmage during fall training camp

Josh Heupel recaps Vols’ first scrimmage during fall training camp.

On the play of defensive transfers

“For all those guys, they blended in immediately. When I say that, you don’t see them consistently out-of-gap, not being able to get a call and lined up, you don’t see issues with communication. They’ve blended right in to what we’re doing on all three levels, and I really believe all those guys are going to have an impact on what we’re doing.”

On the aggressiveness of the defense and STAR position

“I thought those guys made some plays. I don’t remember a bunch of contested balls down the field that those guys made plays on off-hand, obviously, we will go back and watch to have a better understanding of that. I think (the STAR) position as a whole has been really solid. They’ve shown up in every practice that we’ve had. I think they have a unique ability to play physical and be a factor in the run game as they become fitter, but they have unique cover skills as well.”
