Marley practiced at wide receiver on Wednesday.

“That was just how he was recruited,” Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel said of Marley following Wednesday’s practice. “Feel like that’s a natural starting point for him. He’s a guy that is ultra talented. We’ll find out his skill sets, where he feels comfortable as the progression goes, and how we can get him on the field the fastest.”
