Eli Wolf heading to UGA

[TennesseeTarheel]

He won’t be missed but it’s crazy how a kid can go from “go Vols” to “go dawgs” in an instant. Same can be said for Pruitt going from
Roll tide to go Vols I suppose.

as Bob Dylan said, "You're gonna have to serve somebody".

 

[rickyyrs]

Weeding out Butch Jones soft players. Good luck young man. Pruitt is bringing in better players and now that we actually do have FOOTBALL coaches you will see a big change.

 

[CR-vol]

He hustled this past spring and made a name for himself he's a good kid. Wish him all the best, except against us of course.

 

[ksgovols]

I appreciate your time with the Vols. Good luck.

 

[tumscalcium]

Hope he does well unless it’s against us.

 

[VOLnMiami]

Well good luck in life and enjoy sitting on that bench...But hey you'll get in against UT so you can pump your fist a couple of times.

 

[TJSVOLS]

One is continuing his above average college football career and the other is getting paid $4MM a year.

Above average football career ? Are you kidding?

 

[Ten_Titans]

I wish HIM luck (not the dawgs ) but I doubt he sees the field very much. If he wants to play I think he could of chose better.

Which begs the question why they offered him at all.

 

[UTK]

I don’t mind kids transferring, especially as a graduate....BUT to go to a division rival, it’s werid all things considered.

Recall hearing CJP compliment Eli on his hard work in spring practice. Just not a strong blocker. That's vital today.

Maybe there's a Krakatoa of talent there waiting to burst forth.

 

[DaddyChad]

I wish him the best of luck after he finishes college football.

 

[Grudenator]

I hope he starts against us

 

[ButchPlz]

I hope he starts against us

So he can drop more passes, yeah?

 

[Grudenator]

And wiff on a bunch of blocks

 

[SayNoToJorts]

This is going to be the new norm. Get used to it

 

[Electric Orange]

Good luck Eli, thanks for the time you spent here

Are you saying that his career has been below average to this point or are you saying it is above average? I’m assuming the former but what is your baseline? He contributed to a program competing in the SEC which makes him an above average player by default. If you are going to comment on a post, at least clarify your position.

 

[BreatheUT]

This is an odd transfer.

Yes sir, i will do my best. He was a below average player on a below average team. How's that sir.

I can’t believe all of the negative Nelly’s in here, for goodness sake! The boy gave his all for Tennessee, he may not have been a superstar but nonetheless he gave everything he had. I’m sure after this season, he saw how things were going and decided this was his last chance to play. Can we please just cut him some slack and wish him the best??? If you knew that your playing time for the next season was minimal at best, would you happily sit the bench or go “all in” on the last hand?

 

[USMC-TNVOL]

One thing I read is that our receiver depth is kinda low and Wolf was a receiver in high school and did pretty good so why not try to play him there then?

Not even close to fast enough to be a full time receiver I’d say.

 

[Stownterry]

Cream comes to top. Rest move on!!

 

[Dawgfan06]

Sorry, Dawg fan here. I believe this is a depth move on our part. Lost Nauta to the draft and Ford transferring from being homesick. Don’t know too much about Wolf, graded out decent as a pass blocker, not so much at run blocking. We don’t throw to our tight ends that often so don’t see us needing him as a pass catcher when we have a good receiving tight end already on the roster. Not sure how much he’ll play other than in certain schemes for blocking but I do like that he represented y’all at media day since I doubt he would’ve been there if he wasn’t a good leader or hard worker. Good job on the signing class btw, y’all got a few studs for sure.
