VanDemark has the perfect size for his position, listed at 6-foot-4, and 313-pounds as a high school junior. Jeremy Pruitt and his staff made a concerted effort upon taking over at Tennessee to beef up the unit up front, and VanDemark could be a continuation of that.
Rated as a 4-star prospect and the No. 9 offensive guard in the country at St. Joseph Regional High School, VanDemark is being recruited heavily by offensive analyst Joe Osovet. Osovet is familiar with the recruiting landscape in the northeast after a successful run as a junior college head coach in New York.
Offensive line is a position of strength in 2020, but the Vols will have some big shoes to fill going into 2021.
