The CheckerBoard

Guys like Jenkins are what this program has been devoid of for the past five years..orange-blooded VFLs who will give their heart and soul to see Tennessee at the top again; guys who eat, sleep, and breathe Tennessee football. Get a team full of Ryan Jenkinses suited up at UT and see what happens on the field on Saturdays...it will amaze you. Jenkins is gonna be an impact player from game 1. Book it.

I love this kid. He seems to be recruiting and promoting the Tennessee brand as much as the coaches are, and definitely more so than any other recruit. I think this guy is going to do some really special things in Knoxville.

This kid is recruiting like crazy for Tennessee because he wants a better defense. The offense wasn't the problem last year, so I def see him getting in Lawson's ear and bellamys too and get those guys in orange to turn it all around. Getting very excited about this years group.

Now this here ladies and gentleman is what i call "COMMITMENT". I may be putting the cart before the horse but I applaude this young man for actually making a decision on his own and not because his brother is at Clemson or his dad is a VFL. Not only that, but this has to put some of you ppl who are so down on our program a raise of the eyebrow.

I truely hope this YOUNG MAN is very successful in all that he does. He's going to represent "The Real UT". Volnation and VFL!

Gotta love his attitude!

What a great asset. I wish Lawson would commit before the last minute. Don't get me wrong, I will celebrate if he signs with us no matter when it happens. But if he did it sooner than later, we could have some defensive recruiting momentum. Vols!!

Agree KC makes you wonder what the #$!! Dooley was or wasn't doing to keep Vol Legacys like Jenkins from evan considering another school.

I have been extremely excited that Jenkins flipped from Clempsun. This kid is solid VFL. Although he is a legacy, I just don't believe that is the sole reason he is coming to the Hill. I think the truth is that there is something special happening at UT right now. We won't know just how special for a couple of years but there are winds of change coming off the Tennessee River. The whole vibe coming from CBJ and Co. is resonating with these kids and honestly, it's just flat out firin' me up about Tennessee Football. Orange baby. GO VOLS!
