'17 TN TE LaTrell Bumphus (UT signee)

[BeecherVol]

Joe Thompson and for the old timers the biggest football name out of Hardin County was John Barnhill. For you younger folks who have never heard of Barnhill just google him.

Joe Thompson = Good people

They offered a while ago but not sure if it was a conditional or commit whenever thing

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

Didn't we offer him as a DE?

I'm obviously not the expert but based on his film I hope not. He looks like the TE we're gonna need when Wolf leaves.

Score touchdowns. Do the Bumpty Dance.

Brandon Warren 2.0??

Brandon Warren 2.0??

He does not possess Warren's freakish athleticism however at this point he appears to have a much better head on his shoulders. Warren wasted the God given ability which was so sad.

Best high school football player I ever saw. Could dominate the game from either position(tight end or defensive end) most schools recruited him as a d-end but he showed up to Florida State with three weeks until the first game and started as a tight end. I believe he was a freshman all American there as well.

Then he came here and was kicked off the team after like 3 games

Three-star defensive end LaTrell Bumphus of Hardin County High School in Savannah, Tenn., attended the camp and worked out as a tight end. The 6-foot-3.5, 230-pound Bumphus put together a solid showing at tight end, and while Bumphus remains interested in playing tight end, sources have indicated that Tennessee still views him as a likely defensive end. Regardless, he’s still high on the Vols, and he remains one of their top in-state targets after Sunday’s camp. There’s still at least a chance he could show up at Tennessee’s camp Wednesday at University School of Jackson, too.
