The skinny: He's got good size already for a linebacker and could grow into other roles depending on how much weight he gains. Jones has told him he'll fit into the "Cheetah" linebacker, which is more or less the new staff's version of the pass-rushing Jack linebacker. Vereen was one of Tennessee's earliest commitments and stuck with UT once Jones made it clear he wanted him to be part of the class.
