No real issue with NIL. The Portal is a little HAIRY, though. It’s a bit of a turnoff when players change schools yearly. It highlights the fact that these guys are Pros instead of college students. And since they are Pros, why not watch the best Pros (NFL) instead? This from a guy whose...

Amare Campbell, Dejuan Lane and Xavier Gilliam were each key players on Penn State’s Defense last year. Campbell is now a SENIOR, and was the leader of Penn State’s Defense last year. Dejuan Lane is now a JUNIOR, started 3 games, and played 290 snaps on Defense last year. Xavier Gilliam...

Let me guess on his scouting report. *Great route runner *Good hands *Heady player *Tough competitor *Lunch pail guy, first to arrive, last to leave Just kidding. Hope he makes a good contribution.

Didn’t think we would sign Jordan Ross out of HS with Pearce, Josephs and Herring already here at LEO. But, he signs and sticks around 2 seasons as a backup. Now, with Josephs and evidently Herring gone, I thought Ross would be in line for an NIL bump and finally a starting job this coming...

I’m already a little portal weary, and was trying to show humor at a QB hoping to sign with his 7th FBS program. I doubt Heupel would be interested in Finley for the reason you mentioned.

Shut it down. Got the perfect portal QB. TJ Finley, 6’7” and 250 lbs., is applying for a medical redshirt so he can play for his 7th school in 7 years. Previously, he was QB1 at LSU, Auburn, the Texas State Armadillos, Western Kentucky, and Georgia State. He also attended Tulane in early 2025...

Harmon played in every game this year including Special Teams. Staff never intended to redshirt him.

Averaged 13 yards per carry for an entire season from the QB position. That’s pretty good, right?

VERY nice story, although tough regarding Thomas’ playing career. https://utsports.com/news/2025/11/26/football-joy-in-the-journey-jourdan-thomas-turns-pain-into-purpose

I’ll take Florida +19 points if you want to put your $ where your mouth is. The Vol players & coaches don’t have any fear over playing Florida in the Swamp or wherever. But this Vol team isn’t a juggernaut, in case you somehow haven’t realized it. And Florida is an SEC team, and can withstand...

And not only is Defense in his genes, but Heupel also won a National Championship as a player when OU beat FSU and Bobby Bowden’s shiny Offense by a score of 13 to 2. No doubt Heupel appreciates & wants an elite Defense here. PS. That’s “genes”, not “jeans”. Can’t speak to Heupel’s jeans. 😎

I’ve seen several great Safeties play for the Vols. But, I don’t think I’ve seen better CB play for the Vols as McCoy had last year. His pass coverage is excellent. I became a big fan when he wrestled down, more like hog tied, the 250 lb NC State TE short of a 1st down. Looks like most NFL...

3,000 passing yards in SEC play is 23% MORE than the top passing team in the SEC last year, Ole Miss. Your expectation seems a little high. Either that, or I’m high.

I’ve wondered the same thing myself. Kitselman and Davis might be used together in a two TE set, with Davis “flexed out” wide. I think this is especially likely if we run into a few injuries at WR during the season. And Brame and Van Dorselaer bring talented depth. We have talent & depth at...
