Found a Dec 4th article on TriCitiesSports.com confirming Ty is invited to the Combine.

I remember two football players who beat up 11 people in the same location (this bar had a different name then) in the mid 1980's but they were two white boys just having fun and were starters so it was all hushed up. This culture has been part of UT football since the 1960's and has nothing to...

Former Tennessee safety Roderick Lewis from the late 1980's-early 1990's is doing life in Arizona for a double homicide related to a cocaine deal.

East Tennessee doesn't produce a lot of D1 talent but over the years has produced quality D1 and NFL players: Current/recent NFL Players I am aware of: Gerald Sensabaugh - Dobyns-Bennett Aubrayo Franklin - Science Hill Jason Witten - Elizabethton Tyson Clabo - Farragut Garrett Reynolds -...

Elizabethton has produced 8 football lettermen at Tennessee: Allen, John H., 1929, 30, 31 Campbell, Earl, 1950, 51, 52 Fair, Dale, 1974 Holsclaw, Claude, 1944 Jenkins, Danny, 1975, 76, 77 (Capt.) Manning, John, 1944, 45 Mills, Johnny, 1964, 65, 66 Witten, Jason, 2000, 01, 02

Hey Blur, Have you talked to Chris? The rumor mill has Clemson and Florida showing him a lot of attention. Just wondering.

Thanks for the correction....my recollections of conversations 24+ years ago are not as sharp as they used to be....still a tragic story....

Yep, Bobby Hill was a freshman on the 1980 team, senior on 1983 team. I heard about Doug Riner from ol' Coach Peters when he was our line coach. Riner could have been something special if he had not had such a short tragic life.....I played with his little brother Dee Riner and he was quite a...

Stopped playing? Last game in 2006 when South had supposedly their best team in school history with an all-american QB, D-B won 44-0. Don't you mean that with the realignment for 2009 South won't be able to avoid D-B!

To my knowledge only 3 freshman have started at D-B in the past 30 years. Bobby Hill in 1980 (offered by Tennessee and Alabama but chose to pursue a track scholarship), Shane Pierson in 1991 (signed with North Carolina) and Chris. In this time period D-B has produced two NFL players and two...

I say give him a chance. What he did was a terrible thing but he's kept his nose clean for 5 years and worked hard to overcome the stereotypes associated with this issue. We have had players who beat the snot out of their girlfriends about once a month on campus who never even as much as got a...

Gerald was a Prop 48 and yes Tennessee gave him a serious look, Coach Clark is relentless at trying to get the attention of recruiters, Tennessee had to pass as well as several other D-1 schools because of grades, he's a smart kid but just didn't take school serious until college. When ETSU...

I played against future Vols Von Reeves (Austin-East), Brian Spivey (Jefferson County), Tracy Hayworth (Franklin County), Randy Hall (Knox Halls), Randy Jenkins (Knox Halls), Jason Julien (Knox Halls). Also played against Leroy Thompson (Austin-East, Penn State, NFL), Joey Smith (Austin-East...

My bad, it wasn't North Greene, it's South Greene, South Greene alum Mike Nease played for the Philadelphia Eagles in 1987, played college ball at UT-Chattanooga.
