WATCH: Tennessee freshman OL Trey Smith immediately makes his presence felt

Tennessee fans were understandably excited to see true freshman OL Trey Smith in action on Monday night against Georgia Tech.

Though the Vols’ first possession ended in a punt, Smith certainly didn’t disappoint, delivering a crushing blow on a run play.

Yes, it was only against a smaller defensive back, but these are the kinds of blocks Smith should be delivering for at least the next three years for Tennessee:

According to the 247Sports composite, Smith was the No. 4 tackle in the class of 2017 and the No. 1 overall recruit from the state of Tennessee.

Though he’ll probably move out to a tackle spot before too long, he’s doing just fine at right guard for now — just ask that Georgia Tech defender.
