Told 247 that he's down to around 245lbs from 270lbs during his senior season. Said he's been following UT's workout plan everyday, and he's been dieting. He feels quicker, and he plans to make an impact at DE as a freshman. Apparently Stripling said that he does NOT plan to redshirt Jaylen.

Btw, if we can establish a filthy D-Line that keeps opposing quarterbacks consistently off balance, my perceptions of our potential this season may change. I'm still thinking 6-6, but if this D-Line takes some big strides, we could do better.
Miller, Vereen, and LaTroy Lewis may be the 3 best pass rushers we have on the roster...all Freshmen.
Don't be surprised to see Maggit in the LEO some too. He's been under utilized here, and when he's healthy he could be a great pass rusher in the LEO IMHO. With Brewer and Sapp both being able to play OLB we have the depth, when healthy, to move some guys around like Maggit to fully utilized all their skill sets.
I just hope Maggit is healthy come time for Fall practice to start. I agree that his potential is off the charts, but he hasn't been put in a postion to excel in a pass rushing role to this point in his career. Hopefully we've coaches now who can put him in the right spots.
Maggitt looked scary good in that nc state game. His closing speed was impressive.
Hope we can see that version of Curt back this fall.
