Summerhill

[VolinDalton]

Does anyone have any information on Summerhill's status for this season? I watched him vs AP and thought he showed signs of being a good weapon at RB. Checked the roster and he's listed but no number. I'd love to see more carries for this young man in his last year as a Vol.

Prepare to be disappointed.

Don't see much PT

I want to say he will be doing some student coaching this year. I believe that's what I heard.

 

[Special Ed]

Sorry Mama Summerhill.
I don't have any inside information.

 

[OrangeWayOfLife]

I think he quit the team and moved back home

 

[Toujours Pret]

He's no Toney Williams

Or Brain Darden

9 carries for almost 70 yards... Not too shabby even against Austin Peay is all I'm saying. I have always thought he could have been used more. He just seemed slippery between the tackles.

Probably needed to stop doing that. :ermm:

I'd love to see him get more carries too, means we're blowing the other team out.

I understand that he's not Jalen Hurd, but this guy has been a VFL during, arguably, the most difficult years that the Vols have seen in decades. He's a trooper and I have always been a fan.

I just want this young man to get a chance to show what he has and why UT recruited him as a RB. If he's stayed with this UT team for the last four years, he deserves a chance to shine.

Your enthusiasm is appreciated. I agree that he is a great Vol. However, part of becoming a better program is recruiting over some of those hard working players who stuck out the tough times. Its nothing personal, just how it happens. I wish him nothing but the best, but there is no way he will get carries over top tier talent like Lane, Hurd and Scott.

A guy in a wheelchair could get 300 yards on 9 carries against AP..

 

[17Vols]

it'll be hard for him to get carries with the depth we have in the backfield this year.

Never mind that was Q Watson

and yet, you weren't good enough to get any, you probably couldn't make AP's all-wheelchair team

But wouldn't he just go in circles? He's got to hold the ball with one hand. :lolabove:

I couldn't make the wheelchair team, my legs work fine. :good!:

Use one of those motorized ones. Who is going to tackle a guy in a wheelchair?

Someone not easily fooled by a spin move?

Didn't he play in another game last year as well? It seems like I remember seeing him in a game other than AP.

Nice young man from North Alabama. Has a degree from UT as of this spring and, according to his mom, is planning to go to law school. He is VFL and has contributed by walking on, enduring years of the practice grind, and helping the APR.

VQ reported that, but it isn't accurate. Still an active member of the team.
