Vols Defensive Coordinator Has High Praise For Cam Sutton

(utsports.com) Halfway through Tennessee’s spring training camp, defensive coordinator Bob Shoop has learned a lot about his defensive unit. Speaking with the media Thursday afternoon, Shoop had a lot of praise for veteran defensive back Cameron Sutton. He believes that Sutton should be recognized as one of the premier cornerbacks in the SEC, and that he can help lead Team 120 to an SEC East division title.
“The guy who’s really stood out to me in the back-end, and I knew he was good, but I didn’t realize he was this good, is Cam Sutton. He’s a pro. Someone asked me yesterday, ‘What’s so good about him?’ It’s his approach. He comes to work every day … He helps the young corners. There’s not a technique that he doesn’t do very, very well. You hear other players’ names, as far as the corners in the SEC, but I think it’s about time we put him up at the next level. He’s so unselfish, and he’s so quiet about it. He came back not for personal gain. He’s been here for the building process, and he wants to see this thing through and compete for an SEC East divisional title.”
