The starting date for EEs can't get here soon enough. We need to put this to sleep.

What makes that play better is Mckenzie was the other guy in the backfield

Kirkland may start at MLB next year as a freshman. He can fly.

Easy lightning.. Hold those reigns.

Who else does UT have that is as talented as him?

Who else does UT have that is as talented as him?

Look at the guys we signed at LB in the last class. Bryant had excellent measurables and lateral speed but still needed time to get acclimated to playing in the SEC.

Guys that have been in the program, know the defense, and may not be as gifted physically as he but are WAY ahead of him as far as getting PT goes.

You never wanna rely on true freshman unless you have to. While he adds important depth, I doubt he starts over JRM, Bryant, and other options that have in game experience.

Will be start eventually? Yes, but if you really believe he walks on campus with the starting gig then pass me what your toking on.

Mental aspect will be the most difficult thing for him. Gavin Bryant is getting slept on

Exactly.

The above statement should be filed away with the instant comparisons to NFL hall of famers that constantly show up Iin these threads.

"Reminds me of Barry Sanders"

Really dude 😒?

 

[SobeVol]

This. JRM, Bates, McDowell, Bryant, Bynum, and maybe even JJ will play before Kirkland.

:yes:

I was impressed with Bynum last night. Gotta love the guys that keep working hard without the spotlight on them & then shine when they get their chance.

SAN ANTONIO --- On Sunday, the man who could well become the immediate future of Tennessee's middle linebacker position, four-star linebacker Darrin Kirkland Jr., will board a jet to Knoxville to begin his transition from High School All-America selection to midterm freshman at the University of Tennessee.

Kirkland closed his prep career out in style here Saturday at the Alamodome, helping lead the West defense in his squad's 39-36 win. Kirkland even had the decisive play, ending the East squad's hopes of a miracle rally with his impressive pursuit to kill a fourth-down play.

-VQ.

May not start right off, but our most talented option at MLB

He's extremely talented, man he's a missile at LB. Between he and Bryant I hope one takes that spot.
