Most important things for a talented Frosh to do are work hard, watch, learn and try to find a place to contribute. He doesn't have the standing to open his mouth until at least 2nd half of season and then only if he's obviously playing lights out...rare for a Freshman.

Even Berry new his place as a Freshman.

If he is out there beating everyones ass, he never has to say a word. That is my point. Get out there, get after them. RELENTLESSLY. Every second. Every minute. Every play. You never have to say a word. They will follow.

Ive seen it first hand. Maybe this kid has it. Maybe he doesnt. Time will tell. (I think he does)

With Hood back from injury and Dante... excuse me, Omari Phillips newly added, we're getting pretty deep at DT. O'Brien appears the sort that will be hard to keep off the field, but he'll have to climb the ladder to get there. I see seven or eight defensive lineman who have been starters or are capable of being starters.

Does Sunseri freely substitute DTs (and the D line as a whole) keeping fresh guys in all the time?

Unbelievable some still can't spell Peyton's name. Smh

Believe this kid will be used all over the D-line.

Agree BB, and he looks like he's physically ready enough to get some snaps as a true freshman. I still am really wowed at how our freshman class came in looking like physical specimens...for the most part. I know Omari is out of shape, but he really doesn't count with his situation. The rest of the group really worked hard in the off season to get as college ready as possible. Am loving the work ethic of our whole team right now.

Danny O'Brien -- The Michigan native has shown a high-motor and a tough-nosed demeanor during camp. He's a likely redshirt candidate this fall, but that's more a comment on the Vols' depth on the D-line than on O'Brien. Coaches like what they've seen from him to this point and he looks like a future asset up front.
