Tennessee lands JUCO linebacker

  • http://tennessee.247sports.com/Article/Tennessee-Vols-land-junior-college-linebacker-72729

    An under-the-radar, junior-college prospect gave Tennessee its sixth commitment for the 2013 class Friday morning and its third from a projected linebacker.

  • i really liked his highlight video from practice, anyone willing to tackle in half pads every play is always welcome and an improvement. we still miss way too many tackles due to our defenders not wrapping up.

  • Get him as a sophomore with 2 years of JC. Does anyone know why he redshirted, was he hurt or trying to save a year of elgibility to add weight and muscle while moveing to DE.

  • At 6-5, 215 he's roughly the build of Tyler Bray. Hope he can put on a few more pounds before next year.

  • How are you guys going to ever gain ground on the teams ahead of you taking these types of players.. Look at the big dogs in the SEC and look what their classes look like already. Even Franklin has it going at Vandy.. UT won't make their move until they hire an elite recruiting staff. UT, more than teams with natural instate and regional recruiting bases, needs an elite recruiter as HC first and foremost. Sad to see UT falling so far behind talent wise, especially on defense. My buddies here in Nashville are flipping out over UT's recruiting. String together two top five classes in a row that are defense heavy and fill needs, and watch UT take off.

  • If you win championships, the recruits jump on board. We do have an elite recruiting staff. Tennessee is on its way back to the top. Tennessee always finishes strong when it matters in recruiting. A huge number of those committed now will change their minds anyway. I'd rather have them when it counts. Who is this troll anyway?

  • Sorry, I should keep it classy guys. Gator fans just aggravate me so much. They win a couple championships and then they get so cocky and act like they think they invented football or something. Florida has no idea what this program is trying to recover from. Time will show what a successful program we have. I can't wait to run the Gators out of Neyland this year. GO VOLS.

    Thanks Ryan you answerd my question.

  • Nice, athletic player. Will look good in orange. He reminds me of a taller version of J. Harris, number 8 for Bama. Nice size to clog up those passing lanes too. Great pick up!

  • I think Dooley and staff have done a very good job evaluating the underrated recruits thus far. Look at Devrin Young, for example. I believe Blanc will also find a position and be productive as well.

  • This would be a wasted scholly. Surely we can find better.
