Interesting note from Butch Jones today: RB Jalen Hurd is up over 240 pounds. Played near 225 last year.

Opposing DB's beware.

Can't wait to see the Thunder & Lighting combo we'll have with Hurd & Kamara.

 

[VolnJC]

perfect size for an SEC TE

 

[BruiserVol]

Wow. Can't wait for the season to start.

He'll be great at OLB

He'll be great at OLB

Might be a pretty good RB.

 

[skasper06]

Too heavy to play RB. Definitely a tight end. /bluefont

 

[FïreBall]

Yall nuts! Defensive end all the way!

 

[governmentmule]

good to hear he has added some weight,hopefully he can have a fairly healthy season this fall

 

[BigOrangeD]

I like it. Lookout, The Big Orange Train is Coming!

 

[orangebloodgmc]

That gives him a little buffer to lose 5 during the August practices.

 

[Aesius]

He's going to seriously hurt some defenders this year. That will payoff late in games. Guys are going to shy away from contact with him.

 

[Boca Vol]

Unless he somehow managed to get a little shorter, not interested.

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

5*

Do not want

 

[Biopsyman]

If his speed is the same.. NOT FAIR

 

[james_govols]

Who said that fifteen pounds was muscle? Lol.

 

[OrangeDog]

He's so tall he NEEDS to be that heavy

If this kid stays healthy, he has NFL written all over him. With his speed at 240, well damn!

 

[gordonr24]

I've thought this for a while. He will be the best back to ever play at UT, when his career is over. He's got it all. Speed, acceleration, size, and power.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

I say this sincerely, Watch this young man this season and enjoy the ride, because he will be gone before you blink and you only have so many times to watch him.

 

[08Vol]

Same size as Derrick Henry at Bama and that dude was a beast last year

 

[KBVol]

That gives him a little buffer to lose 5 during the August practices.

Plus, he lost about 12lbs last year during the season. I think Vol74, iirc, said he was playing at around 215 by the end of the season. Either way, kid's gonna punish some folk this fall.

This is the truth. Kid put up 1100+ yds total offense last year...,as a true freshman....while essentially missing 2 full games....behind the worst offensive line in school, perhaps SEC history. We should all appreciate that he's a vol and savor every minute that we have to watch him these next 2 seasons.

Hopefully he didn't lose any speed. A 240 lb. bull is going to scare defenders, and will be extremely hard to slow down. I expect him to break a ton of tackles this year. Defenders will bounce right off of him.
