Offered this week

 

[rtrn2glory]

he would be an impressive steal out of Texas...pretty solid offer list.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Well one thing we learned from his tape is that he is a big hitter.

 

[ndcoltsfan2010]

Always nice to go after the hard hitting safeties. The kid looks like a hitter.

Ain't that the truth.

 

[Irish Man3]

Reminds me a lot of Jansen Jackson (Safety for Tennessee). Not all that strong but not afriad to lay the wood down on anyone. I like that kind of fearlessness.

 

[NDdomer2]

committed to Tennessee

A little foreshadowing there Irish Man3

Haha it worked out that way nicely. This is a very nice pick-up for Tennessee who brought in a solid DB class last year.

 

[Riddickulous]

Might visit this weekend for an official, per BGI.

on it.

 

[NDPhilly]

Will either visit ND, Nebraska, or the Florida scUM this weekend. Says he really wants to see ND but has a good relationship with coach Tim Beck of Nebraska.

 

[CanadianIrishFan306]

This guy is a big hitter that's for sure.

 

[greyhammer90]

lord almighty... I'm going to lose some friends over this one if it happens.

Here is his junior highlights, i can't find and senior highlights

 

[BeauBenken]

I like the aggressiveness, but he's going to get flagged for a lot of those hits nowadays.

I wanted to watch that but I couldn't without laughing... it sounds like there are cows on the field! lol MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

How committed is he to The Vols?

How committed is he to The Vols?

He's taking visits that's a good sign. The Vols are a sinking ship right now, picture ND in 2007.

I wouldn't say they are a sinking ship. They looked good early in the year before Tyler B went down. They also lost their #1 WR. Also several other key starter losses. They'll have both back next year with D. Rogers in his second year. The only games they lost badly were to Bama, LSU, and Ark, all without Tyler. By no means am I saying they'll be top 10 next year, but they were looking good before all the injuries. And I almost forgot, their starting RB was down for a time too while Bray was gone.

That's the problem. Just like ND in 07 they have talent but no depth. Also, the fan base is becoming impatient and Dooley probably has one or two more years to right the ship before they toss him overboard. I'm just telling it how I see it, I've grown up in Tennessee my whole life and this one of the worst teams I've ever seen wear the orange and white. (Bray is overrated in my opinion also. He hasn't played well against a good defense yet in his career. Best game so far was a loss to a North Carolina team missing it's NFL talent.)

Born in Indy, ND season ticket holder, then moved to ATL in 97.... I had to pick an SEC team, so UT was it.... Now I have season tix in Knoxville. I agree no depth, but also a chance for freshman to start. Personally, I don't think things are that bad. I see them as an 8-4 team next year, perhaps better so long as injuries don't kill them.

Best thing UT has going for it is Hunter... straight beast. Let me know next time you come to Knoxville, I'll buy the first round.

Their starting RB is Tauren Poole and he hasn't missed time.

Da'Rick Rodgers will be in his third year. He came in with Hunter.

They didn't suffer a ton of injuries to starters.

They didn't do anything when Bray came back except almost lose to Vandy in overtime and lose to KY for the first time in 27 years.

I'm not sure what Tennessee team you've watched but you threw out some inaccurate facts.

Can't see it. Probably old news.

i have absolutely zero problem with that can't learn to be aggressive, but you can learn to tone it down.
