Best Position Players in UT history - OL

Trey Smith
Cosey Coleman
Chad Clifton
Bubba Miller

Who am I not including?

 

Munoz falls on the list somewhere.

 

Drew Pearson

 

Not the best, but the Sullins twins way overperformed and carried us as walk-ons in 2009. We don't have that Hardesty year without them, because there was no cupboard behind them. This is a tangent from the greatest list, but it popped in my head.

 

Sadly, this is one of those positions that I just do not have a lot of knowledge about. They are the near invisible men on the field until they fail.

 

Tim Irwin needs to be on any top 5 list.

 

Bubba Miller and Charles McRae?
Trying to think of the OL for Andy Kelly, Tee and Manning when we ran and threw on everybody with big holes and clean pockets

 

OldVol75.

/List

 

Excellent point.

 

I'd put him top 10 for sure. Stupid knees kept him from. Having a good career.

 

If we’re just going with people that we’ve seen play then I’d include Fred Weary, Antone Davis, Arron Sears,

 

If we’re going all time then Bob Suffridge and Bob Johnson have to be included.

 

Good list

 

I think these are all "all-time" threads, Tennessee football is just so history-rich that it is hard for most of us to go too deep before our time.

 

Will Ofenheusle(?)
Ramon Foster

 

Cannot argue with any of these. Forgot about Sears.

 

Anybody said Ramon Foster yet?

 

Trey Teague and Chad Clifton

Scott Wells was really good too

 

Best overall in my lifetime is Jeff Smith.

Others that were the best in the country in their time :

The OLs of 89 & 90 (Myslinski, Mcrae, Still, Davis, Fischer)
The OLs of 93 & 94 (Miller, Layman, Mays, Ratliffe)
Raleigh McKenzie
Bill Mayo
Harry Galbreath
Mickey Marvin
Bob Johnson

 

He was so dirty lol
