Chip Kell Chip Kell set the standard for blocking at Tennessee by earning All-America honors and winning the Jacobs Trophy as the SEC's best blocker in 1969 and 1970. A three-time All-SEC performer, Kell manned the line that allowed Curt Watson to pace the Vols three straight years and break UT's all-time rushing mark. In 1970, Kell helped block for the Vols to run for 2,365 yards, the most since 1951, while UT passed for 1,996 yards-- the most in school history at that time. The Vols had eight 100-yard rushing games during Kell's junior and senior seasons. | |
