Ringer is going into his third season, and the All-American at Michigan State easily has stepped up as the No. 1 running back during training camp.
Harper was Tennessee's fourth-round draft pick in April out of Clemson, and the heaviest back on the team at 233 pounds is ready to provide a change of pace. Johnson is trying to make the team after a second challenging injury ended his attempt as a rookie.
Offensive coordinator Chris Palmer says he likes enough of what he's seen of Ringer to give him work even when CJ returns.
