Tennessee among 7 Power 5 schools without a player at the NFL Combine

The NFL Combine is taking place in Indianapolis this weekend, and most Power 5 schools are well-represented at the event.

In fact, 13 of the 14 SEC schools have at least one player in Indy, with the Tennessee Volunteers providing the lone exception to that statistic.

The Vols aren’t alone, though, as there are seven total P5 programs without players at the Combine. As you can see below, they are Pac-12 schools Arizona, Cal and Oregon State; Big Ten teams Illinois and Purdue; ACC school Georgia Tech and then the Vols:

Obviously, that’s not a good look for the Vols, but with the top talent second-year coach Jeremy Pruitt is already bringing in, things won’t stay like this for long.

Expect the Vols to have plenty of players making their way to Indy in 2020 and beyond.
