My roomie in Knoxville was big 84 Burton. He could dunk and was athletic at 6 6. I got to sit in on a meeting with him and Kevin O’Neil. A great memory. At the end of a couple of F bombs Shane was 100% football. There was some interest there though.
It’s been a minute. Now, can he play SEC football at a high level? Jalen Hurd looked great on a treadmill running 20mph in the off-season and then when the games started, not so much.
That said, having a kid that massive with that type of explosion is great. If they can get his mind and technique right, we may have us a stud at nose.
I mentioned when he was first recruited he ran on one of Pearl's sprint relay teams. Not a joke, he actually did, was a 4 X 200 relay team member. Now Pearl Cohn has a lot of athletic kids going there. Him running a 200 sprint competitively says a lot about the kid IMO. Elijah SimmonsImpressive! The man can move for a 350+ pounder
He must be a workout warrior to move a big body like that and especially if he runs track. He may be close to playing shape when he arrives.I mentioned when he was first recruited he ran on one of Pearl's sprint relay teams. Not a joke, he actually did, was a 4 X 200 relay team member.

He always says we've had an atrocious oline for years and that part is somewhat true but he claims that's what holds JG back, we didn't have a great oline while hurd was here and yet he rushed for 900 yds his freshman season and nearly 1300 yds his sophomore but he claims hurd sucks?? Obviously this dude doesn't know what he's talking about and not just on this subject pretty much anything related to Tennessee sports in general. Good post from you.I'm amazed at your consistency to bash Hurd with a broke down offensive line while being Guarantano's lap dog because of a terrible offensive line.
