It was amazing, said Gentry, whos ranked by 247Sports as the nations No. 242 overall prospect and No. 10 pro-style quarterback in the 2015 class. I was not expecting it, but Tennessees a big-time school, big-time history and tradition. It was an amazing feeling hearing that from Coach Jones the other morning.
Coach Jake told me that they hadnt planned on offering me this soon, but he took some video while he was out a highlight tape, said Gentry, who rushed for more than 1,100 yards this year and claims to have been timed at 4.68 seconds in the 40-yard dash.
Coach Jones told me they had analyzed it that morning, and he said they didnt want to wait any longer because they like my athleticism and my throwing ability."
Ive watched a lot of their games, he said. Theyre always one of those teams thats pretty heavily televised in this region, so Ive always watched them when they were on TV growing up and everything. Id really love to go up to Tennessee, for sure.
