You should play Ultimate Frisbee on Campus.

There's a traveling club team there that I will be joining this fall, and we're always looking for good athletes. Plus it's the most tiring and fun game I've ever played, and personally I'm looking to build their program to compete at nationals in 3 to 4 years. We'd be glad to have your kind of athleticism.

Trust me, if you can get the general stereotype of "hippy sport" out of your mind, it's really a fun game, and actually competitive on the college level. With your speed you'd be a game breaker too.

Love the game, played several times with friends over the summer, but I didn't play at UT last year.

Nice to here some love for the game!

I don't know Lee Davies, but that's probably only because I only know UT players from Chattanooga.

The team at UT is average at best in the ranks of college ultimate, but we've got some strong players coming in next year, and I know I have the dedication to make the team better.

Me and my 6'2 friend are coming off a High School state title in Tennessee, I know another good high schooler headed to UT this year, and I'm currently trying to get another 6'2 friend to play Ultimate instead of Club Soccer, and that's just the recruiting I've done before Orientation. I really want to get this thing going, and I know the team could use any good athlete to make it happen.

it's not impossible to walk on. i have a friend that walked on as WR and he never even played in high school; he just played back yard football with his friends. but congratulations on getting accepted. i'm about to enter my 4th year here but am still a junior in terms of hours. no worry though, my dad told me to stay in school as long as i can haha

Good Luck! Tell Your Dad Thanks For His Service To This Great Country. Hope To See You Walk On And Make It. That Would Be Awesome. just Like Mullet Said, Rudy-rudy-rudy. It Would Be A Much Better Story Since It Involves The Big Orange.

Update- I have began training for walking on. My dad is currently a Jiu-Jitsu instructor so I am using that to help get me in shape, along with running and lifting

I only wish I could find a way to work on football related drills.. Like.. I wish I had a huge tire to build up my core, or a huge hill to run up

Hey Volholla, congrats on getting into UT.

If your looking to get in shape, and want a KILLER, a$$ kicking workout. I would suggest trying p90x. I've been on the program two weeks, and already lost 6 lbs. You should check it out.

Congratulations if you want to walk on and all.

We'll still have a spot for an athlete like you in Ultimate, if you decide to do it, or if you can do both somehow.

I don't know about a face book group, but my email address is dtwilley@utk.edu, so you can contact me that way. Invitation's always open.

Breaking news- Tomorrow I have a phone interview w/ Scott Altzier on walking on. I have recently made friends w/ several vols via facebook, and have talked to a few.

Walk-On QB Tanner Shamblin and I have been talking quite a bit, and he has really talked me up to Coach Altzier, who is in charge of walk-ons. Tanner and I now talk through text daily, telling me what to expect and what I should do to prep myself.

I have also been speaking with former walk-on turned starter Cory Anderson, who has really been helpful in mentoring me and telling me to keep going. It was nice to see how down to earth these men were.

Im very excited about this oppertunity, im going to earn my spot on the team, earn my jersey and earn running through the T! You heard it first, VolNation! Wish me luck!

Oh! On a side note... I spoke w/ Luke Stocker, who was probably the most arrogant person I had ever met.
