Vols making play for juco DT that could transfer in this fall.

Quote:
Fulton (Miss.) Itawamba C.C. defensive lineman Fadol Brown informed me via text that Tennessee has offered. Brown has been granted his release from ICC and will transfer to a likely SEC school. He is 6-5, 275-pounds and played his freshman season at FIU logging 10 tackles and 2 sacks in limited action.

Sticky situation. He was at FIU as a freshman and stayed through spring ball. From there went to JUCO and was planning to play this season and transfer in December. However, he wasn't given a release from the new staff at FIU, so he was under his LOI still. Now they granted him a release. He is planning to commit somewhere in the next two weeks. When I spoke to him yesterday he said he will likely redshirt and then have three years left to play.

Let me know if that clears the air. His JUCO coaches have raved about his size and potential. Apparently all the schools in the SEC are on him and are trying to get him on campus.

Get this guy.

 

[SCowlsVOL]

I like some of the offers that he has.

 

[oakridgevolfan]

LSU offer is all I need to see! Get'em Butch

 

[Loweboy]

247 has him listed in class of 2014.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

So if I'm understanding this correctly, he is trying to enroll in the next few weeks for the class of 2013. But if he does not then he will be a December graduate for the class of 2014. Would be a very fortunate pick up the Vols if we got him.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

247 has him listed in class of 2014.

Indeed that is because FIU did not release him from his LOI until recently, now he is planning to enroll in this class (2013) if things work out.

 

[92volalum]

we need all the dt we can get... 3 deep would be great...

 

[madbamahater]

Need Badly!!! Does this mean he has 3 years to play?

Would love to have him here this yr.

 

[Biopsyman]

Upgrade or Depth issue?

 

[RockyTop85]

If he's a transfer he doesn't count against the 25/30/?? Just against the 85 cap like Pittman, right?

Correct. Likely redshirt with 3 years to play.

 

[madbamahater]

Originally from Charlotte, NC? Does this play into our hands in any way?

Transfers do not count against "25" rule. Only against 85 scholarship limit.

 

[Brillovol]

So is he an end or a tackle? I know, I know. Just wait till we get him on campus, in the strength program, feed the boy some protein, etc...

[85SugarVol]

he runs the 40 in 4.81 :blink:

 

[volfrk86]

I hope we get this kid we will need an upper classman at Dt next year.

 

[FTCvol]

he runs the 40 in 4.81 :blink:

So? He's a DL...

 

[ETNVol]

So? He's a DL...

Could be wrong, but I believe he's pointing out that the guy has exceptional speed for a man that size.

 

[MyrtleVol]

I hope bama can't enroll him. His former coach Cristbal is there. I think if we get him he'll end up at DT. We are doing alright at DE right now.

This is wrong. Transfers, including Pittman and Brown count against the 25. They are initial counters because they have never received financial aid at this University. Would drop our number by 2 if we took both (which I think we would).

 

[fade route]

I like this....he already runs faster than that LB/WR we were discussing on another thread.
