That's the expectation.

Our wr corps could make a good basketball team if we keep after these 6'5" pass catchers

Rumph is a terrific athlete who played for a horrible HS team. He was a WR for Brookland-Cayce during their 0-10 2009 season and then moved to QB as a senior. Even though he accounted for 1748 yards of total offense, B-C finished with just a 2-9 record.

Rumph was named to the 3A all-state basketball team his senior year. He averaged 18 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists per game.

Be interesting to see what he can do w some talent around him.. .i.e, Rawlins

Don't tell that to Kendall Wright.

Either this kid sucked in HS, or the person who made that highlight film should slap their head. Why you gona put a guy whos 6'5 and a WR punting the ball? If this kid has got'n better at JUCO, then hes worth a Scholarship. But if I'm goin off this film, Not a chance I'd offer him anything. Cordarrlle makes this guy look elementary

I'm thinking he must have seen Darr before making this tape, and thought if Darr can be a punter in college anybody can

Rumph will likely visit the Vols in the fall.

"Now, I know a lot. I know that when I come in they won't have that many receivers so they want to bring me in for a big role because I'm a big receiver and being an older guy and being a leader for the receivers. I like the scheme that they run and I like what they offer," Rumph said.

"I like that because me being as big as I am going against a junior college corner that's an advantage already, but going against a 6-foot-2 corner is still an advantage because I'm long and tall," Rumph said. "Also, being the player I am, I'm not a selfish player and if teams play me one-on-one I can beat them and when they double-team me I'm OK with them not throwing the ball. That's why I want to have a good team that will win."

Being a part of a winning team is not the only requirement Rumph has in his mind for the school he will eventually sign with.

"My decision will come down to how much they want me and what's good for me,"Rumph said.

Chances we take 2 JUCO WR's? Comas & Rumph?

[VolFromNashville]

I like the sound of that. I think he understands that even if he's not getting the ball every play, he can still impact the play by drawing the defenders away.

[CobbVol]

Is he related to the current coach at Alabama who played at Clemson?

[TNHopeful505]

Sounds like we need to have a dominant passing game and put some wins on the board. Honestly, if our defense is even somewhat decent, and our offense lives up to standards, we should be alright. Without playing LSU this year, and no Arky, we have a much better schedule to work with.

I would think that Hunter and D.R would both have to leave to take 2 juco wr in what looks to be a smaller class...

If they don't leave than UT could essentially use a scholly this year on Rumph that would really only play one year...because I don't see Rumph making a significant contribution if Hunter, C.P, and J.C are on the outside next year...

[DylanVol]

I like that he is a EE

[Hbd10]

Great size! Does anyone know where he will most likely be ranked among jucos as far as recievers go?
