mumphrey spoke with both wide receivers coach david johnson and head coach jeremy pruitt on saturday, and the staff told him, they said they watched my tape just minutes (earlier) and were like, wow, he said. They loved my tape, my mobility and my delivery. (pruitt) was like, we want to offer you a full scholarship to the university of tennessee and have you come check us out.
mumphrey, a 3-star star prospect out of john ehret (la.), led the patriots to 21 wins as a two-year starter. Johnson was a familiar voice on the other end of the line, too, as mumphreys dad is former childhood friends with tennessees new receivers coach, formerly a longtime native of new orleans. my dad grew up with him, mumphrey said. they go (way) back.
the 6-foot-1, 185-pound quarterback said he has a skill-set that will translate well in whatever offense wants him, adding, ive versatile. Im a mobile quarterback and a good decision-maker.
i think other schools will take heed to my talents because tennessee has offered me."
in addition to david johnson, mumphrey is cousins with former john ehret cornerback and current tennessee db terrell bailey. The family members had a brief but funny interaction after mumphrey got the offer news saturday, with the 2019 quarterback saying bailey was very happy him but didnt have much time to talk.
he was glad for me, but really tired and was going to sleep so we didnt stay on the phone long, mumphrey said. He was tired from a hard workout or something, so were going to talk more again later.
when mumphrey visits tennessee for the first time next weekend for the junior day, hes excited to meet pruitt and offensive coordinator tyson helton, as well as checkout the facilities and neyland stadium.
