'16 NC QB Austin Kendall (former UT commit)

[UTFootballFan]

Some would ask why Tennessee would want a pro-style qb even though the kid shows great potential.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Final passing stats: 308 of 512 (60.2%) for 4,471 yards, 49 TDs & 15 INTs. Going into last night's game he'd also rushed 122 times for 489 yards (4.0 ypc) & 9 TDs.

Same dual threat capabilities as displayed by Dobbs in high school.

Yep. Hope we hold on to him. Kendall > Jones

Same rushing avg, more rushing yards than Dormady.

Do we really have to go down this line again? There are at least 2 other threads that are back and forth on this stuff.

Kendall > any QB in 2015 IMO.

 

[UTFootballFan]

This kid is special no doubt. Arm, legs and vision.

 

[LittleDTO]

This is a QB. He can make all the throws you want a QB to make. Roll right and left and still make the throw. Plenty of arm strength for the far hash deep out.

Very very excited about this young man.

Maybe Butch knows what he is doing?

 

[Ethan Hooper]

Our offense will look significantly different once our offensive line improves. Kendall is more than capable of running our offense.

 

[VolGBO6]

Has his 2014 highlights been released yet?

New interview with Austin from Adam Friedman. Nothing earth-shattering. Talks about recruiting teammate JT Cauthen. Also talked about Tennssee, said the Vols started out slow this year, but Dobbs came in and having a dual threat helped the offense, and the season skyrocketed.

He said Kentucky is still recruiting him hard and he's been there several times because of his brother.

Dobbs was a prostyle QB. Francois is a DT QB but Dormady had more rushing yards than him. Those labels don't mean much.Kendall had more rushing yards his SR yr than Dobbs also. This kid and Dormady are perfect for our offense.

This is one kid I hope we don't lose. No, I've not heard anything. But, I don't think he should be on 2nd page.

Cool. Let's take a moment to bump all of our commitments threads... Just because

Why not?

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Why not?

No no no... Don't start with that.

I'm searching for the Riley Lovingood thread at this very moment.

If we bump them all, won't they end up in the same order they were before?

Your Kung fu is strong, my friend

 

[LittleDTO]

He might end up the #1 QB in the 2016 class. He has amazing talent.

He's good, but Eason is pretty damn good too. I'll be more than happy with Kendall though.

Now THIS is an awesome thread, makes me want to watch Cosmos all over again.

We can avoid bumping Reid at least

That would be awesome but I don't see it happening.

 

[volgirl99]

He's committed to us, so it definitely won't
