How good is Chris Sensabaugh in Kingsport?

[37620VOL]

Freshman RB @ Dobyns-Bennett?

Is he potentially Volunteer material?

Would he hold a grudge that we didn't look at his cousin?

[volswitten1]

He will be the best running back from this area since Little man Stewart Yes he will be Vol material

[volfanbill]

he's had one decent year. It's waaaayyyy too early to declare him ready to be D1 material, much less a future Vol. The Sensabaughs have been good though.

Coach Graham Clark has never played a freshman on the Varsity team as far as I know. I'm almost certain Chris is the first one. I really do think that in a few years UT will offer him a scholarship. I'd love to see him develop into a guy that can play running back at the college level, but if he doesn't, I bet he'd make a hell of a linebacker.

We missed out on a couple of good safeties from D-B. Gerald Sensabaugh plays for the Jaguars (although he's on IR right now). Patrick Ghee now plays for the Seahawks and was a starter on that great Wake Forest defense last season. I think both would have been contributors at UT.

Now I've never seen this guy play before (Sensabaugh), but Jeremiah Bryson of Smyrna is the best freshman RB I've ever seen. He has unreal quickness, and runs extremely hard. He will play D1 ball.

I watched DB vs. Oak Ridge game in round 2. Sensabaugh has all the potential in the world.

I got to watch his cousin as well as ghee and even Teddy Gaines who coaches at DB now play. I would say he is already more talented than those three as a freshman. He is lighting and thunder. All in one.

I also know his family. They are good people. He has some growing still to do. I see him about 6'2" to 6'4" around 220lbs before he leaves. He is going to be a stud. His Dad played tackle in late 80's. He was about 6'5 - 6'6". But his dad couldn't run like Chris.

I know its early but UT better get on this kid now. He will name his school IMO.

Bryson and Sensabaugh are similar. I have seen both. Both play like D I potential. It is unreal. Bryson had a better lin to run behind this year and more weapons on his team that opened him up a bit more. Sensabaugh was leaned on by his team for the second part of the season.

I have to say as a school mate, neighbor, and freind of chris he has great potential. He does seem to have some injuries but all very minor and expected injuries for playing football. He has no grudge with tennesee not looking at his cousin. I must state that if he doesnt suffer from any injuries that he most definently be vol material. He is one of the first freshman to come up to varsity (middle season) and he only played half a season and came so close to being the leading rusher of the conference. Even his younger cousin who is going to be a freshman next year happens to be small but his size seems to have no effect on his ability to play. I have personally seen him completely lay out someone of twice his size and weight.

THe only question is will chris sensabaugh go to UT

Oh And Bryson Has Nothing On Sensabaugh

[kptvol]

I've heard Sensabaugh is just as good on defense, maybe even better. I'm not sure how he is on special teams, but Gerald has the NCAA record for punt blocks in a single game.

Have you seen both play?

[vols5011]

If Chris stays healthy, he will be the best back from DB since Mike Faulkerson (Delaney).

[stlouie52]

The kid is absolutely nasty. He is definitely Vol material. And more of a college type running back than Bryson because he is so much bigger. Injury avoided, he will go where ever he wants.

[chavisut]

Bryson still has plenty of time to grow.
