The next Paul Bain.... or the first Elijah Simmons!

"Actually, that's pretty good," Simmons said. "That's amazing. He doesn't even know me." -- Tennessean

He looks like he has eaten his fair share of cornbread!!!

Kid has potential

Interesting analysis but can I get you to elaborate?

Kid has potential

Reminds me A LOT of Brandon Williams.

 

[strkr]

We need him to be a beast.

Now, see here, Bobo, if JJWatts is impressed with the guy, he's neither a bust-to-be nor a myth. JJ Watts knows what. The man knows his voltage and joules.

Looks like he will do what a defensive tackle for us should do. Get a push up the middle and make plays bounce outside.

 

[RollerVol]

we need a lot of the boys to grow up real fast and auto-beast mode...JJ knows...

GO VOLS!

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

As bad as Butch Jones handled Alvin Kamara, he handled JJ Watt worse...

This youngster has been and will remain my breakout pick for stardom as a Vol. I could be wrong, but he has special innate tools and from people with firsthand familiarity with him, a "wants to get better and high energy" work ethic. He is much more raw than was DBarnett but I believe he will surprise many people in the SEC who are our opponents on Saturdays.

I agree 100%! I have a great feeling that Mr. Simmons may be that future 1st rounder we haven't had in the middle for a LONG time. I remember another Pearl Cohn HS grad that was pretty much a BEAST too!!

I saw several of these young men on TV last season. UT could use several of them. Seem to remember no. 57 standing out. All these big guys seem to be playing at less than the aggressive level needed at the college level. Only "turn it on" when challenged by another big or for a key play. I personally think this lack of aggressiveness is not wanting to hurt the smaller player across from them.

 

[VolAmerican]

It may just be my eyes, but he does not look 350lbs in this NFL Draft pic. He carries his weight well.

 

[ACvol3]

Did they show clips of them?

 

[AustinMem]

Who is #57 from Hillsboro, and does he play basketball? Dude looks like he is 7 feet tall.

 

[CTVolsfan14]

You can't tell me this kid isn't going to be a great football player here. You can't.

He looks like he's 30 and has been to war for goodness sakes!

I think its Donald Fitzgerald and he's going to play in a HS stadium next year (he's going to Vandy). 6 8 OL.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

We would all love to hear your expert analysis. So whats wrong with saying the guy has potential?

 

[Roustabout]

Who the heck is 57? Dang
