'22 GA QB Sam Horn (Mizzou commit)

[Guide On]

It would be the most Tennessee thing ever to get the one QB that chose baseball over football.

I think he is committed to going to a place that will allow him to play both sports, and he will get a degree before he leaves.

Don’t see why TN wouldn’t let him play both. I believe we were gonna let Malone play both.

Flowers has already made a mistake not playing baseball

Todd Helton comes to mind, but I think most people believe that worked out okay for both UT and Todd.

Was a different time also. Peyton himself was a 3 season athlete in high school...tho football was his obvious choice. Kyler Murray would be the current day example but most forget he wasn’t a full time starter at QB until his last season at Oklahoma after not snatching the job at A&M. And it would have been interesting if the A’s could have money ticed him into going full baseball. Maybe Horn would be content on the bench for 2-3 seasons whilst playing baseball. The unknown is what if he excels and has to make that decision before it’s his time up to take the starter reigns? That’s the primary reason the previous AND current staff are taking their heavy swing at Simpson.

Didn’t Cockrell give up his last year of football to enter the baseball draft?

I knew when I posted it, but didn’t feel like editing. I guess I was thinking more recently with Russel Wilson, Kyler Murray, etc...

Casey Kelly

That’s who I was speaking of

To be fair the As did pay him a lot of money and he had to pay it back

At the time I thought he was a damn fool. I was wrong

Flowers had his first season of full health at safety just last year. He was pretty consistent. He could have a big year.

He wasn't some special baseball prospect...

So many defend Flowers, but he hasn't done anything. Warrior was better and he wasn't that good.

Don't think he is any good tbh. Was wanting Key to take his place all of last season.

Same. I thought he could have been a star in baseball, and I didn't think his QB college success would translate as well as it has to NFL success. I was way wrong.

Where would Tennessee turn for a Class of 2022 quarterback if it doesn’t land Simpson on Friday? All signs are still pointing to four-star quarterback Sam Horn of Collins Hill High School in Suwanee, Ga., being next in line on the Vols’ board, and Heupel’s staff already has started to develop a relationship with the top-100 prospect. Sources said Horn has been in contact with Heupel, quarterbacks coach Joey Halzle and offensive coordinator Alex Golesh over the past couple weeks, and Tennessee now is talking with Horn almost every day. A
two-sport standout who is also hoping to play baseball in college and has been in contact with Tennessee baseball coach Tony Vitello’s staff.

If you watched his and Simpson's film and didn't know who either player was,how could you not want Horn.The talent level he was playing against had the feel like you were already watching a college level game.

Not a bad second option, will be a Vol if we want him IMO

Just get him. Dude will thrive in a vertical game.

Hopefully not a "pipe dream"

Kid is tall and skinny with a cannon. Kind of gives me Tyler Bray vibes.

 

[SycloneJoe]

The last QB we had wearing #21 finished 2nd in the Heisman Voting.

Yep, but can he toss a beer bottle?

Agreed. His first two years were cut short due to injury right when he was coming on. Then has no spring and a weird fall camp. He flashed several times especially with improvement in the run game. Flowers wasn’t the issue at S imo. People also need to remember he was new to football his SR yr of Hs. I could see Banks helping him take a jump this year allowing him to be free and play aggressive.
