'17 TN RB Ty Chandler (UT signee)

[swchandler1988]

The guys announcing the game were talking about him...said that during JV football games Ty is there handing out water. This guy is truly special, he's got Dobb's character and the talent of...I don't know name someone incredible haha so glad we got him.

Game

Not bad

22 carries 333 yards 4 TDS

He stiff-armed a tackler & ran for a TD. Runs like a jet propelled rhino. :good!:

 

[InVOLuntary]

Hit in the backfield.

Gain of 5

He'll fit in well here then, for sure.

On a field full of FBS prospects, he dominated. Made guys look like they were standing still.

Yeeeeeesssssss

Chuck Webb

 

[Vols4us]

All it took was watching one game of his last season to know he was the one we needed the most of all of them. I have not been this excited about a RB wearing orange since Jamal Lewis. IMO could be one of the greats before he is through on the hill.

Catbone just perked up.

 

[therickbol]

A backfield with Guarantano lined up next to Kelly/CFA/Chandler (Akers?) Will be filthy! And so much opportunity for creative play calling.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

He's more impressive than Akers from both tapes I've seen. Chandler just has that extra gear that no one can match IMO.

I would have disagreed until I saw him live last night. His burst and acceleration are remarkable, and he is a lot more physical of a runner than I thought. That straight arm he had last night was Hurdesque. He threw the kid backwards while cutting at the same time. He is a 5 star back imo.

Yeeeeeesssssss

Chuck Webb

It's weird that you bring him up, I have to say..as I was watching those runs you posted..It was eerie how much he reminded me of Chuck. I have never said that about a recruit, or even a UT player before...I think Chuck Webb is the greatest UT running back of all..

Chandler is good at football

Jakob Johnson will either have to move back to defense or give up his number for that to happen.

And I'm good with that

And I'm good with that

Me too, Ty Chandler is a bad, bad dude. Cannot wait to see him in orange!

 

[theutvolunteers]

That stiff arm and burst was elite.

 

[NapTownVol9]

So he is a top 40 recruit, right? 4/5 rated RB?
