With Rogan gone could we see Da'Rick Rogers fielding punts next year?

Oku and Rogers on Kickoff returns as well..

He runs a 4.3

You might see Marcques Dixon get a shot. He was phenomenal in high school. He took several to the house.

I can see it ... however despite the recent years of having freshman play I always get a little worried when a freshman is back there returning punts.

Check out Rajion Neal. That dude will work too. Looks like he ran back a half dozen.

I was thinking Neal and Oku. Both are talented backs and with the backfield full of depth, it might be a better way to utilize their talents.

I second that on Dixon. I think he's got big time return potential. He sees the openings quickly and hits the holes hard. Very little indecision in his returns, which is what you need. check out his youtube video

Don't worry, I can assure you he will get a fair shot to show what he can do there as well as other places. They don't just pick someone lol, they let the probable candidates battle it out. LOL

I get worried about our special teams period. No matter whose out there

Congrats on signing Da Rick. Heck of a talent. You may have a Big Ego on your hands though. I'm thinking he could be a T.O. or Ocho Cinco type distraction that you put up with because he has the goods. That was the knock on him down here even when we thought we were signing him. Time will tell.

Hunter should be the punt and kickoff returner next season...He's extremely fast

Whomever it is I hope they have good hands and make good decisions while the ball is in the air! Go Vols!

Rogers is not the ideal PR type. Dixon will definitely be the first in this class to 'get a look' at returning punts and kickoffs. I think Oku will be at the top of the list for both duties as well. Oku and Dixon could be a very nice kickoff return tandem.

Oku was great last year. I was not impressed with Nukeese at all. So Im going to agree with Oku/Neal combo.

My guess would be Dixon. Hes a natural at it and raw as far as coverage skills so he will most likely be the primary return man if he proves he can handle it as a freshman.
