His visit to Tennessee seems to have made a lasting impression.
"I liked Knoxville and the new athletic facility they're building," he said. "You can tell they're really committed to their football program and they always have been with all the championships they've won and the players they've put in the NFL."

| I met this kid and his dad after camp, and had some really good convos..Omar is a very good kid.. Seems really smart too.. His dad and I had to give him a history lesson.. He didn't know too much about UT.. Seems really interested though. His dad is from bham, and said there's nothing like football in the south.. I think he wants Omar here. | |

"I feel like I definitely did the best at Tennessee and Penn State," Truitt said late this week. "I feel like they're going to offer soon, probably around the beginning of my junior season."

Another school is currently at the top of Truitt's list.
"I would say Penn State is a favorite right now, definitely," he said. "At first the (sanctions) bothered me but then I got to thinking about it. It would be the perfect opportunity.
"A lot of people have started looking away from that school. If I stepped in and committed that would be the perfect opportunity for playing time in front of 108,000 people."

| Anyone else see O'Brien on sportscenter the other day when he said, "Play in front of 108, 000 people" about 25 times? He sure was giving it his best sales pitch that day hahaha | |

Just like the Vols over the last few years while we have been down, every fanbase has its "fair weather" fans, who will be at the games when we are winning no matter what...but hit a rough patch and all of a sudden it's too cold, or rainy, or hot, blah blah to go to the game...I'll just watch it on TV. | |
