I don't think I have ever seen a younger looking recruit...lol. Barely looks like he should be in high school. But if he is good, I hope we stay on him.

Looks are VERY deceiving in this case.
Absolutely a fantastic, SEC-level athlete.
I'm no evaluator, but that kid as a freshman looked like the goods. Very slick slot receiver with a low-end being in the Lucas Taylor mold, IMO — but he's faster than Lucas.

He looks more like a tennis player than a football prospect. But he sounds like a great all around athlete!

Oh, I'm pumped about him and think he'll be a Vol, but when you hear "Brandon Wharton's nephew," other pictures enter your head than this. I don't mean that in any way, so take it at its face. When I saw the kid's picture to open the story, I thought "Who is this little dude and why is there a story on him?"
I'm all in. Let's get him now.

Oh, I hear you.
The first time I heard there was another SEC-level athlete at my alma mater as a freshman, I couldn't wait to get over there and see him. I did one of their games here on local TV, met him before the game was like ... "Uh ... y'all fo serious?"
Yes, they was fo serious.
He can ball.
Hated for Catholic to lose him after just one season. Could have been the centerpiece of some championship-caliber teams, the way Harrison Smith was.

Harrison Smith can't wear Cody Blanc's jockstrap.
Man, that sounded really ghey.
Not that there's anything wrong with that...
