08/18/22 - RB Jabari Small, Sr/2024, Tennessee

Before the mustard bottle and golf ball were hurled inside Neyland Stadium during the waning moments of Tennessee's 31-26 loss to Ole Miss last October, running back Jabari Small of the Volunteers had already realized he needed to get bigger and stronger. "I was running real hard in the first half," Small said Tuesday, "but in the second half, I was like, 'Dang, I'm tired. I'm beat up. I can't even feel my shoulders.' "That's when it clicked to where I was like, 'I've got to address this." Small was listed last year at 5-foot-11 and 206 pounds, but running backs coach Jerry Mack said Tuesday that he weighed 199 in the Music City Bowl. In that 48-45 loss to Purdue, Small had a season-high 26 rushes for a season-high 180 yards, but it was Jaylen Wright who received the critical carries during the fourth quarter and in overtime.

Mack said Small is now between 212 and 215 pounds and added that there is a noticeable difference in his ability to break arm and shoestring tackles. "He's added armor to his body," Mack said, "and that is going to help him down the road. Being able to finish games is what we've been talking about, and the added weight should help him a ton to try to increase his carries. Obviously in fall camp, we're just trying to make sure he understands how to finish the practice." Small, a junior out of Briarcrest Christian in Memphis, was plenty effective a year ago in rushing 141 times for 796 yards (5.6 per carry) and nine touchdowns. He was sidelined for wins over Tennessee Tech and South Carolina, and he and Mack were apparently on the same page at season's end. "Jabari knew that he should've been a 1,000-yard back at the end of last year," Mack said. "He would have been if he had been able to play in all those games and do what he's supposed to do. There is no reason he couldn't be one of the elite players in the SEC, but he knew he was going to have to get better." - Chattanooga Times Free Press
