Rod Wilks (UT recruit)

utfantilidie · 09-03-2007, 09:25 AM

I saw this guy play again the other night and if Tennessee blows it with him, I just hope he's being recruited heavily.He's an excellent receiver as well as d back and kick off/ punt return specialist.Better than 50% chance he could start at receiver and kickoff/punt returner next year IMO.

Not likely. And they have said the same thing for the last 8 months about Kenny O'Neil.

He'd fit right in he's droped 2 td passes in as many weeks.

Rod returned a punt 46 yards to the house last night in a win against Oakland.

Really? Get outta' here. I had no idea there was a difference.

I've seen Rod play almost every game of his high school career, and I can safely say he's the real deal. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him start at punt returner next year, and get a little bit of playing time at WR. He is physically ready for the SEC right now.

He looked terrible against Blackman. 5 dropped passes.

He was amazing against Gallatin. Granted this is the worst team Gallatin has fielded in probably 40 years or more, but I was still very impressed. He's got good speed, good hands, and was very physical against our db's.

It is very doubtful he will be playing as a true freshman. Also, I bet he ends up at Safety and turns into a better safety than he ever would have at WR.

I agree, he won't see much,if any, time at WR

Time will tell.I personally think he has a shot at about any position he is playing in high school.I have seen him play a lot over the last the years.
