Gotta confess, I wasn't sure he would ever do much here, but glad to see him putting in work on Saturday. Let's hoe he continues to improve!

Downs looked very good out there... I was amazed at how big he looked.

I agree, he's definitely bigger than I thought he would be this early in his career. Glad he's a Vol.

Same here, nice to see him geting in on the action. Enrolling early definitely helped with learning the plays. I wonder if that is why Cam Clear has not seen the field? Does not know the playbook?

Smart kid, fast and athletic (see slam dunk highlights on video) getting bigger and stronger by the day.

Sure helps a guy like Bray to have that option.

I was surprised to see him get play time over Cam Clear when I was watching the game. He impressed me. It will be nice once Cam comes along too and we can have a dynamic duo at TE! GBO!

I kinda hope that Cam redshirts this year and steps into Rivera's role next year as the bruising/blocking TE. Downs seems more of the receiving TE.

Or, Rivera could just keep his role since he's only a junior.

True that. I thought he was a Sr.

 

[volfan89]

he is a redshirt junior

Too late for that.

Too late for that.

Unless he gets "injured".

Too late for that.

I thought he could take a few snaps and still redshirt, but I do not know what the limit is.

 

[ORANGE & WHITE]

He has played in the last two games. IIRC, He won't be able to redshirt unless he can prove a medical hardship.

After this class graduates it will be interesting to see if Dooley uses the "Nicky 666" injury program. The SEC has addressed that issue ...at least gave it Lip Service.
