Watch Tennessee’s freshmen DTs manhandle offensive linemen

Tennessee has one of the best freshmen defensive tackle duos in the country.

Kahlil McKenzie and Shy Tuttle are already making an impression in Knoxville at the start of spring practice, and both will be centerpieces for the defense to come. Combine both talents with Derek Barnett, and Tennessee’s defensive line could be the most dominant in the country for the next few years.

Thursday during practice, McKenzie and Tuttle absolutely manhandled offensive linemen in one-on-one drills. We showed you just how big McKenzie’s lower body is earlier today.
