Durable, high-attendance Tennessee lineman with versatility inside
Chuck Prugh was an undersized but reliable Tennessee offensive lineman whose calling card was availability and toughness: a 5th-year senior noted for 100% attendance across four seasons, with coaches even working him at both guard and tackle. In 2004, the NCAA granted him an extra year of eligibility after he missed the final 10 games the prior season because of unusual medical circumstances, underscoring both his resilience and the injury detour that interrupted his career. He’s the kind of player you care about for consistency, depth, and flexibility rather than flashy stats.
