'13 JUCO DT Toby Johnson

Relax this kid is a VOL this reminds me of Patterson too much. Hubbs said on John and Jimmay that once a kid from Hutchinson committs to a school that the coaches do not let them take any more visits which is why Patterson didn't committ until signing day, and probably why Toby Johnson hasn't yet. He probably just wants to make sure and get all of his visits in I wouldn't worry about this kid too much.

I agree -- I would be shocked if T Johnson was not a Vol sometime around mid-December.

I would still like to add Rod Crayton then we badly to work on our LBs and CBs which are both huge positions of need in this class.

"I talk to coach Sal and coach Staley a lot. They just say how bad they need me and stuff," Johnson said. "They see me playing a little bit of everything, but mostly at the five-technique. But, also the four and the six," Johnson said. "I like it a lot because it makes me more valuable to the team and I'm an every down guy."

"It just felt like family while I was down there. It just felt like family and it felt like they needed me down there and I've seen how much they needed me and they didn't have that many people on the d-line," Johnson said. "I mean, they have people but they don't have a lot with experience. They have a couple of older guys."

Johnson said he's likely to take a visit to Tennessee later in the year and that his coaches are setting that up. Along with Tennessee, he also wants to try and squeeze in several other trips besides the one official he's already taken to Oklahoma.

"I want to go to a Mississippi school, probably Nebraska, Miami, schools like that. Georgia," Johnson said. "I haven't eliminated anybody so far, I'm still giving everybody a shot," Johnson said.

is he likely a vol?

Based on this board.. Yes. Played with Patterson and has visited. Really likes what he felt here. Etc., etc.. I'd say we have the best chance. JC guys usually make decisions more on what they want instead of parents or high school buddies so they seem to be just a little bit more predictable. Just a little.
 
His DC at Hutchinson is now a GA here. His roommate and friend is here. Hinshaw is helping to recruit him. We DL guys. The reasons go on and on. UT is the favorite.
 
I travel to Hutchinson quite a bit as I have a small business just west of Hutch. I have seen TJ out and about in Hutch 3-4 times and everytime I have seen him, he is wearing a Tennessee hat. Maybe it's just a comfortable cap, I think he is headed to Tennessee.

How's that old saying go again... "Home is where the hat is"

Damien Jacobs and Denico Autry say hi.

OAN: Toby will be a Vol! :)
 
I just want to find out where his OVs will be to, that's going to be the easiest way to tell. Gut right now is telling me he is leaning towards Ole Miss.
