Jordan Young commits to Vols

[river rat]

"Jordan Young went from unranked to a four-star phenom seemingly overnight. And now the Vols have his pledge in the 2018 class.

Young was unrated for almost all of his recruitment until the final 247Sports rankings came out on Thursday of this week. And once those ratings came out, Young vaulted up from unranked to a four-star, top-200 overall player in the country.

And Friday afternoon, he committed to the Vols."

Nice.

This team hasn't had any consistent playmakers on the outside since Malone and he basically put together one solid season out of 3.

Looking forward to seeing this school become Wide Receiver U again.

We now need a competent QB to get the ball to them. Whether one of our current ones can get coached up or we have to bring one in, don’t care. Let’s rid the stench.

Hope he's good but we've been burned too many times by Butch finding a 'diamond in the rough' player - At least this one is a 4 star and not a 2 star.

Isn't it weird the kid went from unranked to top 200 Nationally that quickly. Grades got better??

He didn't produce noteworthy stats until his senior season. Not many services scouted and ranked him until this year.

 

[TRENT4VOLS]

He's got talent undoubtedly. First glance, reminds me of Cordarrelle Patterson how he strides down field and some of those great catches he makes over defenders almost effortlessly

 

[smokeycoonhoundUT]

His film is impressive. Weird how his recruitment worked out, but I'm glad he chose to be a Vol. Looks like he's got real playmaking ability and we need that bad.

 

[Titan&Volfan4life]

This kid is BOOM worthy!

Good height and 4.4 speed is just what our new O needs.

BOOOOOOMMM!!!!!

Now we're getting 2 really good WR's in this class...BOOM!!

VFL...GBO!!!

Yeah, I noticed that, as well. It seems that he was playing behind a couple of really great playmakers his jr year, but still scored some decent numbers. But look at the highlight tape of his sr year - this young man made some unbelievable catches... then absolutely ran away from the pack!

Kudos to Coach Pruitt and the staff for finding this guy and getting him on board! NSD can't come soon enough to get Jordan Young signed, sealed and delivered to the VOLS... GBO.

If anyone doesn't know why I'm excited, just watch Jordan Young's sr highlight tape!

Did he have decent QB’s before?

 

[Iam4utalways]

Any word on when and where the NSD Breakfast will be in Memphis?

 

[Orange defense]

This guy is a real deal. He is an athlete that is smooth in patterns, his hands to catch the ball, and he jumps to go get them. All I can say at this point is boom. 💥

 

[GameTime]

His videos are fantastic....Has the speed of a Cheetah.

 

[Gandalf]

Got to say our guys know how to spot the talent.

Going back to the pro style offense under Pruitt will bring in the 5 star QBs and WRs.

 

[Giveem6]

Good size for how fast he is!! Boomage baby!! Keep em rollin in Pruitt!

The Jones stench is gone! :clapping:

Agreed.

Don't think we have seen near the best from Guarantano.

Canales had to be one of the worst hires Jones could have possibly made.

I would like to see one of the grad transfers from that other thread come on board though. Think Shrout could use a red shirt year.

 

[YankeeVol]

I like it. Recruiting has been very good under Pruitt so far

I'm a Heritage alum. I've seen this kid play. He is LEGIT! Heritage is not exactly a football powerhouse and rarely do any of their players get much attention from Power 5 schools. That's the only reason I think he went unnoticed.

With the numbers so limited, do we take 2 more WRs in this class? Does this mean that we are out of the Copeland recruitment?

 

[salsahound]

I watched spectacular plays until I got tired of them. Great get.

 

[MikeTheVol]

Looks like a great get. Doesn't have break-away speed but knows how to get open, high-point the ball, and get YAC! Go VOLS!

Disagree, he does have breakaway speed. Looks like Josh Malone 2.0. High ceiling.
