Heavy UF lean but supposed to be visiting this weekend and one that the staff reportedly will be turning the heat up on.

Might be too late though.

Not sure the heavy lean part is accurate. That is, he was thought to be a UGA UF battle and now UGA is out, but IMO (worth nothing of course) that doesn’t mean he’s a “UF lean.”

In fact he’s now expected in Knoxville this weekend…

The state of Georgia alone has 8 guys ranked 4 star or better AT Tight End.

We only need about one more rally good TE to go along with Echols for this class

Maybe this is a guy we can get from the Portal.

Echols from Georgia too

In all seriousness, I’d rather get a guy from the portal than high school. We’re losing Castles and Warren and will be left with Ethan and then whoever we get this class

Why would any recruit ever lean to UF these days?

We need two HS TEs and at least one from the portal. IMO it’s not either or

Like jvols1999 said, I think we need another one from each (HS and portal).

I think it’s the opposite. Landing 2 HS TEs would be even better, but Freshmen rarely contribute at a high level in the SEC. Landing a couple in the portal to pair with Davis and Okoye while Echols develops as a blocker would work just fine

We need both imo

He’s transferring high schools to get practice for college.

That's fair

South Georgia tight end Amir Jackson comes to town this weekend as Tennessee tries to enter a race where Florida is the team with the most momentum. Jackson has been thought to be a UGA and Gator battle and most assume with the Dawgs taking two tight ends in the last 10 days that he is destined for Gainesville. He is giving Tennessee a shot to impress him this weekend.

This kid's a pretty decent prospect.

However, I wish Tennessee would take a closer look at that 3 star TE in West Tennessee too.

I've never seen a year with so much talent at TE

Great interview!

Has Heup lost some weight?

 

[jakez4ut]

Seems like it went well!

 

[BelieveTheHeup93]

Between this guy and Michael Smith being teammates with Merklinger plus Echols already committed I think we’ll do just fine at the TE spot in this class
