2017 breakout player for the Vols

[CamVol8]

Who do you guys think will breakout and be a star for us next year?
I'm really high on Austin Smith and I believe he will be the biggest surprise for us next year! He's very talented.
Go Vols!!

 

[JRVOL11]

Nigel Warrior or Latrell Williams .

 

[RockyTopTexas]

Marquez Callaway for me!

 

[VolBricks]

JG

 

[utallthetime]

Marquez Callaway on offense.
Daniel Batuli on defence.

 

[The Artful Dodger]

Mr. WGWTFA, himself, Darrel Taylor. Him, Kongbo, and DKjr. will be huge against Ga. Tech. HAVE to stay disciplined.

 

[volsfan24018]

Aaron Medley with the Groza award. Bit of a stretch, but I'm hoping with the added competition on the team.

Darrell Taylor

All of the players mentioned above might be the ones. I expect most of them to have breakout years.

One of the receivers should have a break out year. Williams, Callaway, B. Johnson or J. George. The newcomer J. Jones has some nice speed and P/KR ability, so he could be interesting.

Marquez Bembry is one of those athletes that could come in and immediately push for playing time. I also think the Coleman kid (RB) will be the most physically ready of our new RBs and might even push for the #2 RB spot over Fils-Aime as the year progresses. One of the young CBs - Shamburger, Labruzza, or Bailey - should make a name for themselves this year. We are going to need one of those guys to step up and get some meaningful experience

As far as someone on the team who wasn't quite broken out but has all the potential there to do so, I think Justin Martin fits that bill. He's got the right skills and he's a senior now. I think we'll see a different Justin Martin this year, more confident and more aggressive.

Warrior

I honestly think Brandon Johnson is going to surprise a lot of people next year

 

[basspond]

The D-line; 1's and 2's.

 

[avolation]

Trey Smith. I think he plays his way into a starting spot. Don't know who he jumps ahead of or how, but he will play a lot this year.

 

[Caleb59seal]

Defense: Justin Martin
Offense: John Kelly..... with ease.....

 

[volfanCLT]

Callaway
Taylor
Warrior

Think Austin Smith is back in his right position and will make a difference too.

 

[rickyb712]

that dude

 

[PACKERVOL]

Byrd.

 

[Sarms58]

I think Sapp steps in and makes people think JRM is back....

Bituli

I honestly think Brandon Johnson is going to surprise a lot of people next year

I met Brandon Johnson a couple of weeks ago and was so impressed with what a great young man he is. Not unlike most of the Players I've met since Butch has been here. Would love for him to have a breakout year.

 

[gc49ervol]

My pick is Darrel Taylor or Bituly however.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Warrior on Defense
Callaway on offense

Also hoping for any D tackle to have a monster season.

 

[Catbone]

Quay Picou

Aaron Medley with the Groza award. Bit of a stretch, but I'm hoping with the added competition on the team.

I just don't think Medley will ever have it. He's just not a clutch individual. He can do it all in practice, but when the lights are on, it's a different story.
