My stepfather was a PT limo driver and huge wrestling fan. As you probably know, JYD's arch nemesis for a time was Greg "The Hammer" Valentine. After a vicious battle one night in Knoxville at the coliseum, my stepfather drove both in the same limo to the airport while they sat in the back, drinking beer and BSing like old HS buddies.

JYD!!! His pants should say Thump on the back

That Taylor a noted senior has Simmons name in his mouth means a lot about how good this youngster can be, Ya'll he's not just big, he's strong, and fast for a 315+ pounder.

Same. He's probably the most I'm excited too see on the field. His build reminds me of Glenn Dorsey.

Imagine how strong this guy will be after four years of Fitz workouts...

Not gonna lie, that pic of him scares me

The "MOON DOGS"!

Really need this kid to be that plug in the middle we’ve been missing....will make the whole defensive unit better..

 

[tbones0711]

I think he's destined to play nosetackle in the 3-4. Hope to get at least 3 good years out of him.

I loved the Boy from New Yoprk City growing up. Jimmy was cooler than a polar bears toenails.

 

[StarRaider]

this is the kid that can dunk a basketball as well.... Hubbs is talking about him right now.

Len Rossi, Jackie Fargo and Haystack Calhoun!

But, all seriousness aside, coming from Darrell Taylor, I think that's a heck of a compliment.

345+ LOL Dude will be a BRUISER!!!

Why does he make me think of a guy that Alabama would go after and be a huge NT stopper for them. Let’s hope he plays like that here.

MAYBE we'll at least get a few frosh on the 3 deep All SEC Frosh team...

When my kids were playing high school soccer I remember reading that Pearl Cohn fielded a soccer team with a bunch of their football players on it. The players loved the game and said it helped with their conditioning and foot work. Don't know if any linemen played though, doubt it. Fortunately our school didn't play them.
