Masai Reddick: Vols’ offensive tempo ‘exactly what Josh Heupel said it was’

Masai Reddick: Vols’ offensive tempo ‘exactly what Josh Heupel said it was’

Tennessee practiced for the second time during fall training camp Tuesday at Haslam Field.

Following practice, freshman offensive lineman Masai Reddick met with media.

The 6-foot-5, 335-pound Reddick discussed Tennessee’s offensive tempo under second-year head coach Josh Heupel.

“It’s been exactly what coach Josh Heupel said it was,” Reddick said. “It’s always high-tempo. We try to get as many plays out as fast as possible. We try to perform to the best of our ability every single play and have 110 percent effort every single play.

“The transition from high school, everybody can play fast tempo, but effort is not a big thing when it comes to tempo in most cases. Here, it’s every single play, every single snap, so that’s the biggest thing.”
