Jalin Hyatt discusses staying locked-in throughout a season
Junior wide receiver Jalin Hyatt met with media following practice. Hyatt discussed how he will stay locked-in throughout a season.
“This is the SEC, we’re the University of Tennessee,” Hyatt said. “We have great guys here, great receivers here. Last year, it taught me well, but if you don’t play to the standard where you need to be at, you’re going to be on the side, you’re not going to be playing.
“We’re here at the University of Tennessee. There are great athletes and great receivers here. The reason why I work so hard is I want to do it for these teammates. I want their respect. I feel like when I go out there, especially this year, I feel like I’m the best slot in the country. That’s what I want to do every day.”
Hyatt has appeared in 23 games from 2020-21 for the Vols, totaling 41 receptions, 502 receiving yards and four touchdowns.
