Evander Wells, Tennessee track star to join the FB Team

[UT's#1Fan]

Per CDD's presser....

Player Bio: Evander Wells University of Tennessee Athletics

I wonder what his 40' is...?

 

[Burhead]

Wes Rucker just tweeted he'll be playing wide receiver this season, he is on the track team for those that didn't know.

 

[VolFromNashville]

This will be interesting. The team needs speed and I'm assuming he has it.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Kick Returner?

 

[VolsFanRJ]

I just heard about him myself. He is apparently a speedster from the track team, but not sure if he can catch. Could be like Leonard Scott, but Scott came to UT as a football player. He still couldn't catch very good, but sure could run.

The roster has room, bring him on. He could be a special long bomb threat, and a great decoy as well if he has lighting speed.

UT CAREER HIGHLIGHTS: Eight-time All-American and 16-time SEC scorer in a Tennessee uniform...Ranks among the top-10 in school history in the 60m, 100m and 200m...Won an SEC Championship on the Vols' 2007 4x100m relay...Qualified for all six NCAA Championships during his Tennessee career.

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

did he play football in HS?

 

[TNHopeful505]

he's 5'8'' according to Utsports. Dude can FLY. I'm thinking Specialist?

 

[VolsFanRJ]

Not sure how this translates to 40 time, but a 10.01 sec 100 meter sounds pretty dang fast to me.

Yeah, and 160lbs. I bet he can fly too.

 

[TNHopeful505]

I can only hope for a Derrick Locke clone.

 

[orangespirit]

Is hunter recruiting the track guys now? Team needs speed. Let's hope he can catch.

He apparently played high school ball and was a DB.

Also, Jeff Demps at Florida won the 2010 NCAA 100-meter championship this year with a time of 9.96 That is smoking, but Well's record time of 10.01 is not that far off.

 

[VOLNBAMA]

10.01 100M is flying. What does Demps run?

 

[volunteerlane]

Not sure how this transfers to 40 time, but a 10.01 sec 100 meter sounds pretty dang fast to me.

Trindon Holliday's personal best was 10.01 in the 100 meter. Comparison?

Sounds like more of the Trindon Holliday clone to me. I don't know anything about his football background though.

 

[FrattyVol]

He said in the video he played football in high school this could be very intresting

I don't know what he runs but if its 10.01 thats world class.....thats a better time then Holiday at LSU ran, better then any player on FL team...

 

[HARTUPM]

Jeff Demps ran a 10.1 100 meter out of high school, so he should be as fast as Demps.

 

[thunder5]

Trindan(sp) Holliday anyone?

Man I'm ready for some football!!!

 

[ROCKYTOP09]

10.01 would have got you on the Olympic team in 2008

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

If this guy comes in and takes a trick play called by CJC to the house to beat UF in September he will be a Vol Hero!

Go VOLS

 

[Heebs]

I think we know who's gonna be taking kickoffs.

I'm stoked about this addition.
