'26 GA LB Rodney Colton

Can’t do it like Neyland, that’s rarified air, but they can get it rocking during a home night game

It is somewhat intimidating to be in a stadium with 80k rednecks cheering for Cocks.

Agreed. I was there in ‘22 and the atmosphere that night - I hate to admit - was pretty awesome. Not close to Neyland, but it was much better than I expected.

Problem is, the stadium isn’t on campus and it looks like it surrounded by a flea market.

Plus, you’re surrounded by 60k fans cheering for cocks. I know it’s 2024 and all, but that ain’t normal.

Tennessee was able to get 2026 South Carolina LB commit Rodney Colton to campus on back-to-back weekend, and the Vols were able to build some momentum here, in our estimation. He has connected well with this staff and enjoys what he has watched from the linebackers on the field. There is a long way to go in the one, but the Vols are very much in the thick of things after the past two weekends.

Tennessee is making a real run at 2026 South Carolina LB commit Rodney Colton. It’s telling that he chose to return here this weekend for the 3rd straight game vs going back to South Carolina for their matchup against A&M. He loves the rotation at LB and is growing more and more comfortable with the staff. Doesn’t feel like he’s rushing to do anything, but Tennessee is climbing in this one.

Coming here three weeks in a row when the team you’re committed to has a big night game also… all I need to know.

Putting in my crystal balls in for the good guys.

They’re doing a lot recently to keep him.

Carolina went nuts after beating A and M. That may have an impact on him, too.

Them winning may, but not them going nuts. He wasn’t at their game.

“I had a great time at Tennessee last weekend,”

“A lot about Tennessee stands out to me. I see something new every time I go down there. The coaches stand out and how close I have gotten to the team and the players has me interested in Tennessee too.”

Tennessee continues to ascend the board for South Carolina linebacker commit Rodney Colton. He chose to visit Knoxville last weekend over going back to Columbia, which shows just how interested he is in the Vols currently, considering he had been in town for the previous two games.

Credit William Inge and the staff for making Colton comfortable on Rocky Top, and it helps that the Vols have performed well during those visits. Tennessee has made a strong move this fall as he could make a final decision some time in the winter following his junior season. It would not surprise us to see him back on campus for the UTEP game.

IMO priorities may have shifted some after the junior season tape was re-evaluated. Vols still like Colton imo, but Rouse and others may be a little higher on the board

Coach is goat'd

From Rivals:

Tennessee remains a favorite for the former South Carolina commit but a weekend visit to Missouri made a major impact as the Tigers remain a serious contender for the four-star linebacker from Newnan, Ga.

“Everything” stood out to Colton during his visit, from how the linebackers play, to the defensive play style to the scheme to how he bonds with position coach Derek Nicholson.

Missouri is right there at the top along with Tennessee as Florida State, Florida, Georgia and others are involved.
