Third Receiver Battle Heats Up | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

Tennessee’s third wide receiver spot is heating up as a brutal, lights-on showdown between Radarious Jackson, Travis Smith, and freshman TK Keys — all vying for the role with their futures on the line. Coach Kelsey Pope says anyone in the room can earn it if they can breathe under pressure, especially when 100K fans roar at Neyland. Jackson brings grit and toughness despite early injury hiccups; Smith dazzles with athleticism but needs to add physicality; Keys has elite talent but struggles with consistency. With one final closed scrimmage left before the season opener against Furman, the winner will likely emerge through real-game action against tough SEC foes — proving they can deliver when the lights are brightest.
