Sub 11 100m. Definitely be a problem if he can get in the open field. From what I’ve found he focused a lot on track and didn’t hit a lot of camps and everyone knows rivals and 247 don’t like giving any love if it they can’t get clicks.

or of the tennis don't fit their narrative of who needs to be number 1. Georgia, Texas, OSU.

Quick, drop GMac before TN gets too far up there.

Nice take from SI on JB

Dale Dowden - Justin Baker

"The Vols will be returning two backs with playing time from last year, as DeSean Bishop and Peyton Lewis prepare for a heavier load due to Dylan Sampson being drafted by the Cleveland Browns. Justin Baker is a young, physically gifted player. The 5-foot-10, 210-pound back runs hard behind his pads, a patient runner that knows when to stick and explode. The carries may be limited early on, but as the season goes on, I anticipate Baker to get more in the rotation."

He did forget Star Thomas, who has been getting rave reviews. That's great to hear on Baker, I was actually more excited about Morris before hearing all this on Baker

Tennessee Football Offensive Freshmen Who Could Make an Early Impact

Tennessee had a solid 2025 class on paper, but what some need to know is that these players are more important than many may think. Many freshmen have the chanc

We have seen that CJH uses a two back system with both getting substantial carries. With this stable of backs, I see the best ones getting drafted after their Junior year but we will reload with the next year's draft picks. Those who work hard will succeed in this system.

Another guy that’s going to do great in this offense if he sticks around…Heupal and Co. have made several high 3* types into NFL prospects here…it makes me wonder what would happen with a 5* talent like Hiter in this offense

Think about if we get hiter in 26 and the monster from Baylor in 27 and we have a combo of 5 star beasts in this offense it could get scary

In our offense, we can play at least 3 running backs in a game. When we get Hiter, we will have the best running back team in College football.

And unless they get better at QB and WR, we'll be seeing 8-9 in the box. I can give Heupel a bit of a break on the QB because of Nico's family (although he did decide to recruit Nico despite that same family), but the WR situation is all on him and his choice of assistants.

I'm not sure beyond Bishop,Thomas and Lewis there will be a lot more touch's to go around. Obviously in blowouts and against lesser teams he will get more PT and injuries could change that. Either way, our RB room will be stacked for years if we keep everyone. Baker and Morris will be beasts.

My money is on the injury factor.

From your lips to God's ear my VOL brother. I believe as well. #1 QB AND #1RB in the SAME class. OH..and 3 WRs that are ridiculous too. Legendary class on offense IMO. Will tell my future grandkids about it.

You sure? Thought he was up to 220 or 225lbs? You're probably right though bud I may have confused him with someone else. He is a very impressive athlete regardless...especially for a freshman. I remember he ran a mid 10sec 100M dash too so he is shifty AND has that gear to take it to the house. Wait until we have Legend Bey on campus at WR next year too..he ran a 10.2xsec 100M as a HS junior and hes not a skinny kid. He plays QB and returns kicks at ~190lbs and is still that fast. Different level of athletes we are landing these days compared to the "dark ages" of 2005-2020

He’s fast but the only mid 10 100m RB on the team is Peyton Lewis.
