The Tennessee Volunteers are facing the SEC’s leading receiver through four games - South Carolina wideout Xavier Legette. Can the Vols slow him down?
. He wasn't even the preseason No. 1 target on his team - fans in Columbia, South Carolina, eagerly anticipated another strong season from star wideoutHowever, Wells has dealt with a rash of injuries this year that have kept him out of action. He will be sidelined against Tennessee on Saturday, but that doesn't mean the Vols don't have to worry about an elite receiver because Legette has fit the bill this year.
Legette is one of the best players in America when the football is in the air. He tracks the ball well and boxes defenders out like a power forward when he can read the ball's flight. He's got strong hands and excels with contact; he doesn't consistently create separation at the line of scrimmage, but when he gets the football, he can create yardage after the catch.
The most problematic thing about Legette's game for Tennessee is that he never stops moving. He's always looking for open turf to find a window for his quarterback. When you're covering him, it's a start-to-finish rep; you can't stop your feet until the whistle blows. He routinely finds open holes for Rattler to fit throws into and then makes plays after the catch. It's been an interesting ascent for him, but the tools were always there.
