Great job coaches, it's exciting to read the recruits' comments on what "we're" trying to do here at UT and their excitement about being a part of our team and winning again. GBO!!!!!!

It would be nice to also get Chubb and have a 2 back system like some of the other teams.

This is huge. This kid can play. If you haven't seen him, drive up on a Friday night. He will answer any questions. 31 carries, 394 yards, and 7 touchdowns in this years State Championship game was incredible. Can't wait to see him in Orange and White on Saturdays.

Yeppers!! That Championship Game Absolutely made a Believer out of me!! And your right about him putting up ridiculous numbers no doubt!!

I know Hurd is a beast, but I have wondered about how his height will affect him at the college level. Glad to see that he keeps low when hitting holes and everything though. I am so incredibly pumped up about this.

I think it will be interesting to see. He bends very well at the HS level, and has RB instincts/feel for when to lower the pads and play in the hips.
If he can do that at the next level, no reason to believe he won't be able to be a quality back.
Matt Jones is about to be good at Florida. They are similar in the ability to play low to high at 6-2.5/6-3 IMO

I've been so thrilled about this news that I haven't been able to post a reaction boom. I think I need a larger BOOM cannon to do this one justice. Huge pickup and fantastic for momentum. It's been a great couple weeks.
