Tennessee football returned to the practice field for its sixth workout of the spring Tuesday evening, and the Volunteers now turn their attention to their first scrimmage under head coach Josh Heupel set for Thursday afternoon in Neyland Stadium.
Thursday's scrimmage is closed to the public.
Tuesday's practice was full pads and featured multiple team periods, including a two-minute drill to cap the day. Running backs coach Jerry Mack and secondary coach Willie Martinez addressed the media following practice.
Mack's unit features junior Tiyon Evans and sophomore Jabari Small. Evans, who is in his first spring in Knoxville, was the No. 1-rated junior college running back in the nation prior to enrolling. Small came on strong toward the end of his true freshman season last fall.
"You can just tell Jabari is one of those guys that really was born to play running back," Mack said. "He has a really natural feel. He has great instincts at the position. You can tell he has been really well coached. Every day we come out there, he is disciplined. He is focused."
