I don’t know if that would make a difference or not. Staley getting a lot of love as a rs freshman (I am glad he is) but Matthews seems to be right there with him and it sure looks like he qualifies as a rs freshman.

Why would he? He’s getting plenty of playing time and targets at Tennessee. If his ultimate goal is to go to the NFL he’s probably better off sticking around considering how we develop WRs.

I see you are talking about last year. No clue. They’ll figure it out .

He played in 11 games as a freshman … not 4.

You do not know what you are talking about. He was injured in practice in the Spring and threatened to enter the portal.

ESPN and 24/7 both say he played 4 games. If I remember right, he was injured in the early part of the season last year.

Why? The uncertain QB situation next year would give me pause.

Well I was going off of UT websites notes on his freshman year… so I guess they don’t know what they are talking about.

I’m thinking espn might be only showing games he made a catch in..

He probably only made the stat sheet in 4 games, but actually played in more.
