Tennessee returns all of its offensive line starters for the 2020 season, but continues to build for the future up front as it offered 2022 offensive lineman Zach Rice out of Lynchburg, Va.

Rice stands at 6-foot-5, 300-pounds as a sophomore at Liberty Christian Academy. Although he does not have a 247Sports recruiting rating yet, Rice has garnered plenty of significant attention from some major programs.
Florida, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Liberty have also offered Rice. Tennessee offensive line coach Will Friend is serving as Rice’s primary recruiter.
Although it is early, Tennessee does not yet have any commitments for the 2022 recruiting class.
