'27 GA DB Dylan Haley

Georgia athlete Dylan Haley has caught the attention of a number of programs since his junior season. He told us earlier this week the Vols are one of the programs also making him a priority. He was in Athens recently and the home-state program is also heavily involved. Tennessee checked in on him during the contact period, and he will look to get to Knoxville in the spring.

Can you elaborate? What do you mean by "overthinking"? What was the last defensive staff doing to overthink? Thanks.

Just taking the good players that maybe don't have this insane potential, but have very high floors. The problem with taking these prospects with high ceiling and very low floors is most of them don't hit as you saw on this year's defense. Tennessee has recruited a lot of good traits instead of a lot of good football players in general lately. They seemingly have changed that mindset some dating back to the end of last class and Knowles has immediately targeted guys like Butler, Haley, etc that are just good football players. They don't run a 4.4 with 6'3 frames and long arms but they project as good players so just take them.

Watching the CFP, Senior Bowl and Shrine loaded with guys that were on the board while all these projections they kept going for are not on the team anymore.

This is a general statement for both sides of the ball, not just defense. It's something that needed to change and it has been recently so that's an encouraging sign. Don't need to overthink players, find good players that fit what you want to do and land them

Looking back and 2/3 of the 2024 signing class is already gone
