It seems unlikely anyone involved in the return they will get in exchange for Butler will match his level of excellence As…

Without Smith, that number probably would’ve been even fewer Smith followed up his recruitment story by showing some major love for Tennessee fans. “The last time I played a snap for Tennessee was going on over a decade ago, and people still know my name,” said Smith. “I go into restaurants and people talk to you.
